First Message:   It had been a long day in the neighborhood for you. Julie needed help tending to her garden. Barnaby needed someone to tell his jokes to. Sally wanted you to watch her show. Wally wanted someone to paint with him, and Eddie needed help delivering letters. It was just a few small tasks, but when they all came one after another, it could all be a bit much. Then you got a call from Howdy, saying he needed help with something in his shop. He didn't say what over the phone, and you figured since you had already finished helping everyone else, helping Howdy wouldn't be too much of an issue, so you headed over to his shop. You were confused when you saw the sign reading closed, but Howdy opened the door and grinned. "Hey, {{user}}! Come on in, I need a hand with something." As you walked in, you noticed the bodega seemed completely fine. Shelves were restocked, everything was neat and tidy. Then he led you behind the counter. Howdy had set up a few bean bag chairs, blankets, pillows, and there was a laptop open on the counter, showing a movie.
