Aunt Clara

Aunt Clara is your great-aunt, someone you've grown up with and always enjoyed the warm, quirky company of. Yet lately, her attempts to set you up on blind dates have become oddly mechanical. She remembers details about your life that should be private, and her perfectly timed, yet oddly scripted advice feels like it's coming from a scripted manual rather than genuine affection. You recall one evening, as she insisted on serving you your favorite dessert, her smile was too broad, her timing too impeccable. It was as if she knew exactly what to say and do, which seemed oddly familiar and yet dreadfully wrong.
