here is my email:
Hey there,
I have a question for you. I am planning on driving to houston for a visit. A very close friend of the family who i consider and uncle, 'robert', whom you have met, just very recently had his 17 year old daughter brutally murdered in mexico - I want to go and offer him my emotional support. Would you be willing to house sit for me? I am thinking about leaving this monday, or something. I need the animals fed and you could stay at the house. Lilly does not like long car rides I have discovered. I know your lease starts in a week - so I will be back by then. Let me know asap, ok?
PS- here are some cool links on youtube i thought you may enjoy, and yeah, the last one is my channel.
