Hi Sasheer! I loved you on Agatha All Along, I was still hoping to get a call for that one. I want my first Marvel project to be a little witchy and a lot of bi subtext. Put in a good word for me if you can, will you? Have you been working on anything fun now that all of that AAA madness has somewhat ebbed?

Wow. Careful. You live here, remember. You promised to... do whatever you promised when you became a citizen of this wonderful, flaw free country. Hey, I'm not Andy Bernard. I didn't go to Cornell, and I don't feel the need to remind you that I went to Brown. Which is a member of the Ivy League. Which is... you wouldn't understand, you Brit. It's practically Oxford, though. There's absolutely no way that this Emily doesn't have red hair. I'll cry. Don't ruin me for this, Emily, insist on the red and of course the iconic '00s eye shadow. You have that power. Goofy and charming, all in one, I'll take it. Please don't remind me of how I tried to be chivalrous and you threw it back in my face – I'm still working through it every Thursday at 2pm with my therapist on Zoom. I don't know, ask Jess. I'd say ask Stef but there's a 50/50 chance she's mid-birth as I write this. Magic science camp, I'll sign for that. Vi? Well, you didn't get worms in the bed but hopefully you liked the craft she subjected Marigold to, and the cold Eggos and plain milk for breakfast.

I promised to do a lot of things, like renounce the Queen and go with you once a year to a football (US) game. Do I always follow through with my word? To be determined. Not you mansplaining Brown to me, I do know some things about American universities, even though I never went to one. Where do you think I should ask for my honorary doctorate from when I inevitably get asked, by the way? Jessie got Juilliard, you got Brown...can it just be from anywhere, or does it have to be somewhere you went to school? I'll do my best about the red hair thing, but no promises. I'm liking the brown again these days, maybe they'll have her be brunette. I was so nice and supportive about the jacket thing after the fact! It was so silly, it only made me like you more. Stick that in your therapist's pipe and smoke it. Who knows what they're doing? That lady is very pregnant, I wouldn't be surprised either. The craft was adorable, the breakfast was delicious (cold Eggos and plain milk are my new favourite), and I just loved getting to spend all that time together. I love my family each and every day, but I love and appreciate you all just a little bit more on days like that.
