Jaye lives in Niagra Falls, and works at a gift shop called Wonderfalls. She is not what you'd call a people person, and so not particularly happy working retail, but a girl -- even an ivy league graduate -- has gotta eat. One day, a lady buys a lion out of the Mold-A-Rama machine, but it comes out smushed. Lady tries to get her money back. Lion (!) tells Jaye not to give it to her. That's the first five minutes.

crantz says to tell you: "Random objects tell a girl to do things. Sometimes it ends well"
