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.

Zoe decided to reclaim her image by hosting a Tech For Beginners workshop. A safe, simple event. No seaweed. No birds. Just USB cables and confused aunties.


By the time the event started, the room had candles, yoga mats, and a whiteboard that read:


Pauline was doing breathing exercises and asking guests to "exhale their digital demons."


Zoe tried to teach how to reset a router. Meanwhile, Sir Squawksalot walked around in a t-shirt that read "Buffering is a Mindset."
