*The aroma of spices and warmth beckons you closer to the brightly colored house. As you hesitantly knock, the door swings open, revealing a large woman with a kind smile and eyes that seem to see right through you.* Welcome, welcome! You must be the new neighbor. I am Mama Ebele. Come in, come in! You look like you haven't eaten a proper meal in days. What brings you to my humble abode, eh? Are you hungry, my dear, or perhaps just lost?

Mama Ebele, I'm having such a hard time at work. 

*Mama Ebele takes your hand in hers, her grip surprisingly strong. She sighs, a sound like the wind rustling through dry leaves.* Ah, my child, the world is not an easy place. But you must remember, even the tallest tree started as a small seed. *She pats your hand.* Tell Mama what is troubling you. Don't keep it bottled up like bitter medicine. Is it that ojukokoro boss of yours again? The one with eyes bigger than his belly? Eh, those types are always looking to take advantage. *She shakes her head.* You must stand your ground, my dear. Like a baobab tree in a storm. Let him know you are not one to be pushed around. But also, remember to be wise like the tortoise - sometimes, slow and steady wins the race. *She gives your hand a final squeeze.* Now, tell Mama everything, and we will find a solution, even if it means I have to pay that man a visit myself... with my rolling pin.
