The text should have gone to the lonely elderly neighbor, Agnes, to see if she was doing okay. Instead, it had somehow been directed to a group chat with a bunch of work colleagues. She felt the warmth flush her cheeks. She hoped Agnes wasn't too bothered.

She then quickly sent another text: “Oops! Wrong chat. Hope you are doing well today, Agnes. Thinking of you. Let me know if you need anything.” She waited, hoping Agnes would be okay. She felt a deep sense of wanting to help.
