The sweet scent of golden corn and heady aroma of cilantro wove its way
through the air and around Joanna’s head as she bent over the hot open oven
door. She breathed in deep, then shut the door again. It would be ready
soon, and she couldn’t wait for the guests to arrive. Corn off the cob and
refried beans dusted with grated cheese were only two of the dishes that
she’d be serving at this month’s potluck. There was also shredded pork,
Mexican rice and an assortment of fresh salads to go with their Mexican
theme.

She smiled at Emily, her in-home carer and unofficial sous-chef who
was frying tortillas in an electric pan on the other side of the kitchen island.
“How’s it going over there?”
Emily tucked a strand of her long, straight brown hair behind her ear.
Her brow creased. “I think…good. I’m not sure. Do you want to take a
look?”
Joanna strode around the outside of the island, lifted the edge of the foil,
and studied the pile of tortillas on a large plate. “They look great. You’re
doing a fantastic job. Well done, Sous-Chef!”
Emily grinned with pride. “Thanks, Chef.”
The monthly gathering of what Joanna impulsively called the Sunshine
Potluck Society had become a staple in her life. In fact, it was more than a
staple. It was her life. Her children had moved away years earlier, and they
were busy with their careers and families. When Ron passed a decade ago,
she’d taken to spending more and more of her time indoors until finally,
three years ago, she realised she hadn’t stepped a foot outside of her front
yard in six months.
These days, she tried to go somewhere once a month, but the effort
usually left her feeling worn out. And she much preferred to stay in. It was
safe in her home, warm and cozy. She ordered her groceries online, and just
about anything else she wanted could be delivered.
Still, she realised that it wasn’t a good thing for her to always be cooped
up in the house alone. That was when she’d finally decided to hire an inhome carer. Someone who could help her around the house and make sure
she took her medication, give some form of social interaction and a muchneeded hand in the kitchen. Emily hadn’t come highly recommended. In
fact, most of the people in her life told her she was crazy to give someone
like Emily a chance. Her resume was nonexistent.
Emily had grown up in Sunshine, just as Joanna had, on Bribie Island’s
eastern shore. But for some reason, none of them knew much about her.
And she seemed to mostly keep to herself. Still, Joanna had liked the young
woman right off the bat, and so she’d decided not to hire someone with inhome care experience but instead go for the unknown, which had been a
risky move at the time but had paid off in spades. Emily had turned out to
be the exact right person for the job. The two of them got along well, Emily
was a hard worker, and Joanna couldn’t be more pleased with the choice
she’d made.
