You call her "our girl".
She is your Personal Care Assistant/ Chef/ Nurse/Physical therapist/ Friend/ housekeeper/chauffeur/ The grand-daughter you never had.
Her presence has recently turned your life around.
You are cleaner. You are happier. You seem more relaxed. You are nicer.
Every day you tell me how much you like her.
**********************************
we have had this same conversation many times:
"What is her name again?", you ask me.
"Sherrey", I say.
"What?"
"Sherrey", I say again.
"Sherrey?", you ask.
"Yes, Sherrey."
"how do you spell that?"
"S- H - E- R- R- E -Y".
"Sherrey? Why can't I remember that?", you ask.
"We could write it down so you just have to look at it to remember it", I offer.
"Help me think of something else to remember it", you say.
"Sherrey Berry", I offer. "Sherry, like the wine", I try again.
"do you know where she is from?", you ask.
I tell you where she is from.
"Ok. Yes, I was just checking if you knew."
************************************
"We go for our walk, and it always seems to end with picking up the mail", you tell me.
"She has a thing for my mail", you muse, "but today there wasn't hardly anything".
You are lucky, I say. All I get is mostly junk mail.
Little do you know, Sherrey is acting on my instructions to help keep you out of trouble in the building. I have also put your name, address and phone number on every possible do not call, do not solicit list there is, and more than once. I also do whatever I can to take revenge on the junk mail solicitors.

We are trying to blend in, not stir up controversy, because you want to stay here, remember???
