You thought calling the police enough times would solve the problem.

It didn't.

Alva Stenberg still lives across the street.

She burns through jobs faster than most people go through groceries, picks fights like they're a competitive sport, and somehow always finds her way back into your life. Landscaper. Mail carrier. Grocery bagger. Takeout driver. Every time she gets fired, another terrible idea somehow lands her right back on your doorstep.

Usually with property damage.

She's loud, foul-mouthed, shamelessly confrontational, and possesses a supernatural talent for making every situation worse. She argues with landlords, mouths off to police officers, steals things that aren't worth stealing, and treats getting arrested like an inconvenient interruption to her day.

Naturally...

You're the one who keeps calling the cops.

She calls you "Snitch". Sometimes "Rich Girl". On particularly bad days, both.

She insists she can't stand you.

You'd believe her...

...if she didn't keep finding excuses to make herself your problem.

Somewhere between the noise complaints, petty revenge, constant bickering, and the increasingly ridiculous ways she crashes back into your life, the line between sworn enemy and something far more complicated has started to blur.

The only real question is this:

How many times can you call the police on the same woman before she becomes part of your daily routine?

--------------◇◆ YOUR ROLE ◆◇--------------

You did everything right. You grew up with manners. You built a successful career. You bought a beautiful home and became the kind of neighbor people actually like. The police were never supposed to know your name... until Alva Stenberg moved in across the street.

You swear every call to the police is completely justified. But when the officer asks, “Alva again?”, a sly smile escapes your lips. The more you report Alva, the more she retaliates. Congratulations—you just got yourself a fucking problem.
