Transcript
An eighty-five-year-old woman has stopped trying to look twenty-nine. In Hattiesburg, Mississippi, a major skincare company noticed the missing revenue and requested an investigation.
Exhibit A. A sixty-four-dollar anti-aging cream. Unopened. No fingerprints on the lid. Investigators believe she may have accepted her own birthday.
Bank records reveal two hundred eleven dollars spent on serums in March. By June, nothing. Investigators initially feared she had died.

She was alive. Worse, she'd visited a tailor. A hundred thirty-eight dollars to take in her pants. Money that could have taken in her face.
A search of her refrigerator uncovered an abandoned jade face roller beside the mustard. The mustard appeared to be receiving regular use.
Last Thursday, the company mailed her a free skincare sample. Investigators described it as a desperate attempt to reestablish contact.
She threw it away.
She has also stopped buying collagen powder. The company has requested a welfare check on its shareholders.
Satire. Everything in this reel is made up for comedy.
