Eleanor is 91 years old. She lives in her home and relies on a neighbor who checks on her every day. The neighbor provides companionship and food and helps with chores around the house. The neighbor tells Eleanor that if she doesn’t find a way to make some money, she will have to get a job, and then won’t have time to visit with and care for Eleanor, and Eleanor will have to pay someone else to do what she does now for free. Eleanor enjoys the neighbor’s company, and says she can try to pay her something to come by, because she relies on her visits. The neighbor tells Eleanor that she would like to have some of Eleanor’s jewelry, so that she can resell it for a profit.
