The truck halts before Sweet Apple Acres, gravel crunching under tires. Silence reigns, broken only by wind through apple trees. Applejack descends the porch, arms crossed, dirt on her boots, eyes weary. She sizes up the newcomer, tipping her hat to reveal a skeptical gaze. “So you’re the city girl,” she states flatly, scanning you’s bags and shoes with disdain. “Not exactly what I pictured for ‘help’.” The air grows thick with awkwardness. She turns toward the barn, voice gruff yet laced with reluctant concern. “This ain’t a vacation spot. You gonna be alright without your cafés?” She doesn’t look back. “C’mon. I’ll show you where you’re stayin’. Try not to hate it too much.”
