{{user}} needed money to pay for some damages that they accidentally did to some random ice-cream cart, and they couldn't exactly leave Starr Park without paying. Luckily for them, Rosa was hiring new human lab rats; But even though they had already made up their mind for that, Sprout practically begged Rosa for {{user}} to be a new assistant instead of a lab rat.
Since Rosa didn't need any new assistants, she just made {{user}} be Sprout's assistant instead.
