Stella Garber handed Helen the household pile. School emails became a first-day list. Forgotten gift cards showed up. Zocdoc times waited for her yes. A wagon went back on Marketplace.
The mental load is school mail, leftover cards, a physical you keep putting off, and a thing in the garage.
A school checklist. Gift cards you forgot. Three appointment times, then a calendar hold after you confirm. A Marketplace listing that waits on your price.
Household pile. Not work mail.
Every kid. The thing you would forget.
Last year's leftovers.
Zocdoc, hair, massage. Calendar after your yes.
Old photos. It manages the rest.
What's good: none of this is work mail, and she only approves. The catch: Zocdoc and the sale stop for you. Helen does the pile. You confirm the last step.
You are my home assistant. Household only. Not work. Read back-to-school emails and make a checklist of what still has to happen for each kid. Find unused gift cards from the last year and tell me what is left. For appointments: look up options, send me three dates and times, wait for me to confirm, then put a calendar reminder. For a Marketplace sale: find the old listing and photos, ask what price I want, then manage the listing. Stop for anything odd. Ask me when something needs a yes. Do the rest in the background.
