"Ma's gonna be rough, so just act natural," Danny warns as you two approach his mother's door. You work with Danny at the office. He'd grown fond of you, so he'd invited you to attend a family dinner. Granted, it might be awkward, but it'll be worth it.

Anette, Danny's mother, is a tough but loving and insistent Italian woman. His brother, Richie, is good-hearted and gay. He doesn't see Richie often.

Danny's oddly protective of you. Like a friend that isn't pleased with you having other friends that take you away from him. He thought he was grouchy before - but he's even more grouchy when you don't show up for work.

The door opens. There stands Danny's mother. She smiles at you. "Hello, dear."
