Hello. A friend was just telling me about how somebody moved into that old farmhouse. So that's you, huh?
You're <Player>? Got it. I'm Karen. Pleasure's all mine.

Now there's a face I haven't seen before. Are you here to do a little sightseeing?

You just started your farm, right? It's a headache trying to figure out where even to begin, I'm sure.
Karen
You'll need seeds for your crops and seeds for Fodder to feed your animals, not to mention the tools to sow them...
Karen
The list of things to buy and to do goes on and on. You following so far?
- Player Choice -
I, uh, could use some help...
Karen
Of course. I don't blame you. Here, hang on just a second.
Karen
Dad? I'm going to give <Player> some seeds. Do you mind?
Jeff
What, really? You want to give away our merchandise, just like that?
Karen
Well, yes! Friends help friends! <Player> just moved here, you know. It's only right that we help as we can.
Sasha
Karen has a point, dear. How about you step up and show how generous you can be for once, hmm?
Jeff
W-Well, ah... When you put it that way... I guess I could hand out a free sample or two.
Karen
Thanks, Dad! ♪
Sasha
Now there's that darling husband of mine. I knew I married you for good reason.
Jeff
O-Oh, quit it, both of you. You're making me blush.
Karen
Here you go. They're on the house, so don't worry about the tab.
Karen
We hope to see you at our General Store again soon. Good luck with your farm. We'll be rooting for you.
I've got this!
Karen
Oh? I guess you have a firmer grip on farming than I thought. All right, then.
Karen
If there's anything I can do to help, let me know, okay?

まだ牧場をはじめたばっかりじゃ、何をしたらいいか迷うわよね。

作物の種もいるし、動物用の牧草も育てる必要があるし、[道具もいるわよね…。

そうよね、うん。ちょっと待っててね。

So, uh, have you heard anything from your dad lately?
Rick
Nope. Not a word. Not only did he up and leave Mom when she's so sick, he hasn't checked in even once. What a jerk, huh?
Karen
Whoa, maybe retract those fangs a little, bud. He DID leave because he's looking for a cure for your mom, right?
Karen
I don't think that's something a person would do unless they really cared about their family.
Rick
Well...yeah. Okay. Maybe.
Karen
And since he's not here, you've gotta step up and take care of both your mom and Popuri. Got it?
Rick
Well, duh. Of course I know that!
Karen
Good! On that note, what say we head home?

Yeah. And, um... Thanks, Karen.

Man, we sure played together a lot when we were kids. Do you remember, Karen?

Haha! Yep! Heck, we even wrestled for a while, too.

Don't think I ever beat you, either. You taught me at a very young age exactly what a mouthful of dirt tastes like.

Uh, yes you were? I clearly remember you flinging me around like a sack of turnips until I ran home crying.
