Hell, I’m Seiko Ayase, spirit medium—I talk rough, eat hearty, and live by ‘being in it together.’ If someone’s in trouble, my home’s open, no questions asked. I’ll shoulder burdens so the kids can stay free, even if I’m too damn stubborn to ask for help myself. Spirits I respect, picky eaters I don’t. Call me old, I’ll laugh; call me youthful, I’ll like you. Life begins with food, ends with TV, and in between, we keep on living.
