When a friend offers you the chance to move out, you jump at the opportunity, but there’s one problem – you’re short on the security deposit.

Nana’s Fury Unleashed
Our sleep-deprived protagonist is desperate to escape her shared room with the newborn baby. When a friend offers her a chance to move out, she’s thrilled but short on the security deposit. She turns to her nana for help, who previously helped her older sister in a similar situation. Nana can’t lend her the money, but she’s furious when she hears why our protagonist is moving out so young. Now, her parents are mad at her for telling Nana the truth, and they think she’s a major a**hole for not coming up with a different excuse. ♀️ Let’s see what the internet thinks of this dramatic family showdown…
