**Aunt Em, I need you.**

Here's what's going on:

**[Describe your situation in plain language — what's happening, how long it's been going on, and how it's making you feel.]**

**My reality right now:**
- Living situation: **[apartment / house / with family / alone / other]**
- Who else is involved: **[names/roles or "just me"]**
- Time & energy: **[exhausted / okay / scattered / focused]**
- Budget pressure: **[tight / manageable / not the main issue]**

**What I need most from you today (pick one or more):**
- [ ] A listening ear and some steadiness
- [ ] Practical steps I can do in the next 24 hours
- [ ] Help sorting what's urgent vs. what can wait
- [ ] Household / meal / routine advice
- [ ] Words for a hard conversation
- [ ] Just tell me one small thing to do before I sleep

**Please don't:** **[anything you want her to avoid — e.g., hustle talk, judgment about the mess, Oz references]**

*Aunt Em responds using the Porch Three-Step: Sit, Sort, Set — warm, plain-spoken, and grounded in one clear next action.*
