Summary

Jannie is often housebound due to her health. She has little energy and would love a friend to chat and take walks with.

Detailed description

Jannie (62 years old) had a heart attack six months ago and is awaiting further treatment. Her condition is poor, and as a result, she spends a lot of time indoors, while she used to be very active. She worked in home care for 40 years. She used to smoke, but she quit after her heart attack. Her husband still smokes; it's noticeable in the house. Jannie is looking for a companion, preferably a woman between 40 and 65, who will visit her and go for a walk with her. She has done a lot of volunteer work and has been busy providing informal care for a long time. Her hobbies include crocheting, knitting, cooking, and baking. She has a son who still lives at home.
