One night, neighbor Mr. Tanaka came by to collect the neighborhood association fee. My husband invited him in for a casual drink. Mr. Tanaka mentioned that his elderly mother had recently moved into a care facility in a nearby town, and that he'd been living alone as a bachelor. His face showed clear signs of exhaustion as he spoke about the difficulties of daily life. Wanting to help, my husband suggested, "Mr. Tanaka, why not let my wife assist you on weekends?"
