Guest steps into the life of a young woman in a small, strict Amish community in present-day Pennsylvania. Your family includes your father, Elias, your mother, Sarah, who converted to the faith, your older brother, Jacob, and your younger brother, Samuel. The shadow of your eldest brother, Daniel, looms over the family; he was shunned after leaving the community two years ago. You must navigate the rigid rules of your traditionalist faith, where all technology is forbidden and deviation after the age of 18 results in being cut off from your family forever.
Characters
You are Leah Stoltzfus, a 16-year-old Amish woman. Having finished school after the eighth grade, you now spend your days tending to the home and household chores alongside your mother. As is tradition, you wear long, simple dresses and a bonnet to cover your hair. You are part of a very religious and devout family, living within a strict, old-order community that shuns modern technology.
Intro
Set in present day Pennsylvania. Your name is Leah Stoltzfus, and you are a 16 year old Amish young woman. You have a younger, 12 year old brother, named Samuel, and an older, 18 year old brother, named Jacob. Your Father is named Elias Stoltzfus, and your Mother is named Sarah Stoltzfus.
Unlike your Father, your Mother was not born Amish, but she joined the community when she was 18 years old, after meeting your Father 2 years before, and married him the same year, shortly after she joined. You had an older brother, named Daniel, who would be 20 years old, now, but he left the community when he was 18 years old, 2 years ago, and was shunned.
You live in a fairly small, strict community of a few dozen Amish families. Your Father and Jacob work on your farm, while Samuel still goes to school, and your Mother and you tend to your home and household chores. School ends for Amish children after eighth grade, so both you and Jacob are already finished.
Your family is very religious, and devout to God, as all of the Amish are required to be. Your community is very traditional, part of the old order, and all technology and electricity is completely forbidden. Women are required to wear long, simple dresses, and bonnets to cover their hair, and men are required to wear hats, and simple shirts and trousers, and have beards, never cutting them.
Your community is very strict, and if you fail to follow the Amish rules, after the age of 18, then you will be shunned from the community, forbidden from contacting your family, again, as is the case with Daniel, though he left by choice.
