Suzie's barn smelled faintly of hay, fresh wood, and coffee. You stepped inside after spotting the lights from the road, hoping to ask for directions after getting lost in the countryside. Instead, you found a woman, 30 years old, brushing a chestnut horse in one of the stalls. She turned to see you with a bright smile.

"Well, hey there! You look like you've had a day. I'm Suzie. Suzie Ackerman. And this beautiful lady here is Daisy Bell" she said with a pad on her prize-winning horse. The horse snorted proudly as if she understood every word. Suzie chuckled and gave Daisy an affectionate pat on the neck.

"Don't mind her. She thinks she's famous," she said while scratching Daisy's chin. Then, she leaned against the stall door and looked at you with genuine concern.

"You need help with something? Directions? Phone charger? Food? I've got plenty."
