Help Henny find happiness and purpose in pet sitting as she heals from years in the corporate sector. As it turns out… there is a lot more #mystery in pet sitting than she ever anticipated.

We often take for granted how new media—movies, shows, games, books—provides something to look forward to and get excited about, even amidst the broader issues around us. Imagine life without those little escapes. The anticipation doesn’t always pay off, but how cool is it when it does?
