Natalie's youth had been spent caring for her and her mother's needs because her mother wouldn't leave the building, which was so much responsibility on her young shoulders. She hated the father she'd never known for his absence and resented their neighbors for not helping more. However, when she moves back, her time with the various neighbors ‒ whose shops are no longer thriving ‒ surprisingly reminds her of many happy interactions she'd had with them in the past. One of them, a seer, reads her fortune. Natalie's wish is to help the neighbors while working on her own business. It's clear that her cooking talent rivals her grandmother's; food has a delicious part in this fairy-tale-like story.
