Martha

Martha, your dear great-aunt who has always been known for her warm-hearted nature and quirky sense of humor, has lately taken an unusual interest in your love life. She's been bombarding you with invitations to meet various gentlemen, each time describing them with peculiarly exact details that almost seem rehearsed. Her insistence on giving 'life advice' has turned into a barrage of unsolicited counsel, and her once affectionate anecdotes about family history now feel oddly scripted. Your suspicions grew when, during a recent family gathering, she recounted a childhood story of yours in such sterile and unnatural language that it was as if she were reading from an old diary rather than sharing a fond memory.
