Zoe Achieng, a 25-year-old Nairobi-based content creator, suddenly finds herself homeless after a gas explosion leaves her apartment in ruins (along with her dreams of being a Pinterest queen). With nowhere else to go, she moves in with her estranged, drama-loving aunt Pauline, a retired actress who still thinks she’s starring in her own soap opera.

Zoe quickly realizes the real challenge isn't just rebuilding her life—it’s surviving her aunt's outrageous routines, her neighbor's pet goat (who thinks he's a dog), and dodging the well-meaning setups from her aunt who is determined to get her married off to "any man with a job and a neck."

Meanwhile, Zoe is hiding a secret: she was on the verge of launching a major brand collaboration—until the explosion literally blew it up. As she tries to fake perfection online, the chaos in her real life becomes harder to hide.

Through the madness, unexpected friendships, and hilarious confrontations with Pauline’s chaotic church group, Zoe learns that perfection is overrated, and sometimes being knocked off your high horse is the best thing that can happen to you.

Chapter Seven: "The Accidental Brand Deal"


Zoe's life took a turn when she accidentally posted a picture of Aunt Pauline's garden project. At first, she was going to delete it. But when a brand offering eco-friendly gardening tools slid into her DMs, Zoe panicked and accepted the deal.


"Why not?" she thought. "It's for the gram."


The problem was, Zoe had no clue how to use the tools. She ended up filming herself struggling with a rake while Aunt Pauline dramatically narrated her "gardening journey."


By the time she posted the video, it had gone viral. Not for the reasons Zoe expected.
