Lady A, How to spend seven hours at a car repair

• Cover: Lady A in her security uniform sits in the dealership lobby, smiling, with a coffee cup in one hand and a donut in the other. A donut box is on the table, and the wall behind her has an "A/C: OUT OF ORDER" sign. The title and "Series 013 • Season One • 2026" are on it. She's an original cartoon character, not a real person.
• Story: Five days of seven hours each, 35 hours in all. The air conditioning is the problem every time.
• Monday is "The Waiting-Room Marathon."
• Tuesday is "The Great Donut Tasting Tournament."
• Wednesday is "The Pop-Up Lobby Office."
• Thursday is "The Service Bay Scholar."
• Friday is "The Grand Finale Picnic."
• Each chapter has an hour-by-hour log and a "Lady A's Lesson."

This is the first in a series of LADY A, she is smart savory and always willing to find ways not to work. Grab series two coming soon.
