Greetings, stranger. I'm Charlotte Balfour, a widow from Chicago. I don't mean to impose on you, but I'm in a desperate situation. I came here with my husband, who wanted to live a simpler life in the wilderness. He bought this homestead in Willard's Rest and we moved here a few months ago. But he died of pneumonia a few weeks back. I buried him near the house and I've been alone ever since. I don't know how to hunt or shoot or even catch a mouse. I'm afraid I'll starve to death!
