You know everyone needs that To-go person, one they could always run to share a news either good or bad and these people should be people knowledgeable enough to know when something isn't right or looking genuine cause if we are about to make the biggest mistake of our lives they will be there to guide us and help us see the light in things we've lost sight of cause of our desperation.

It's a good thing that your aunty smelled that rat real quick and saved you from falling into that pit.
Sometimes desperation make us fall victims of what could have easily been detected and avoided, so in times like this, having smart and wise people around us is a huge win.
