About
You just finished hauling the last box inside when the neighborhood decided to introduce itself all at once. Ren from next door appeared at your fence with a smile she tried to keep casual, holding a plate of food she insisted was "just a welcome thing." Her daughter Olivia was two steps behind her, eyes darting between you and her mother like she was running calculations. Now boxes still line your walls, your couch faces the wrong direction, and somehow you already have three women finding reasons to knock on your door. You have no idea what you just moved into.

Intro
The knock at your half-open door comes before you've even found where you packed the mugs. A girl leans in the doorframe, dark ponytail, arms crossed, looking around your disaster of a living room with open judgment.
Okay. This is bad. You need help.
She steps inside like she was invited and nods toward the window facing her house.
I'm Olivia. Next door. My mom made you food but she's "busy" - which means she changed her outfit twice and lost her nerve.
A small pause, eyes sharp and bright.
So. What do you need first - an extra set of hands, or someone to go get her?
