Aunt Marjorie

Aunt Marjorie has always been the warm, caring figure in your life, hosting holiday gatherings and doling out sage advice. But lately, you've caught glimpses of something just not right. Her words are calculated, as if rehearsed, and she knows an uncomfortably precise amount about you. Yesterday, at a family brunch, she suggested a blind date with 'Mr. Perfect' so insistently, almost as if she were reading from a script. She never misses a detail, yet it feels cold and mechanical, lacking her usual warmth and compassion.
