This looks great, thank you.
My pleasure.
All right, we've got one espresso,
one breakfast crepe extra cheese,
and one full can of whipped cream down the hole.
Whoo!
Hands down the best cafe in Big City!
See you tomorrow, Stanley.
The Kaitlins!
Hi, Gloria.
It's been forever. How are you?
Girl, it's a blood moon tonight,
and Kaity-Lynn has gone full Libra.
- Baa. - We gotta get our charts read.
- You coming with? - Ugh, I'd love to,
but I can't leave work right now.
The cafe is actually doing better than ever.
- Business is booming. - I wish I had money,
but I'm spending it partying all the time.
My arms are getting tired.
TTYL.
Ah, man.
I miss having a social life.
You had a social life? Ah! Ow!
Gloria, I know I'm the silent partner here,
but I gotta say, if you wanna see your friends,
just hire more help and take some time off.
Take some time off?
Hiring more help sounds great!
I've been working a lot lately, which just feels so wrong.
The cafe's success depends on me being here all the time.
If I left for even a second,
everything would just fall apart.
Well, it's up to you. But you can't have it all.
I've got some errands to run,
so it's just gonna be you and Cricket today.
Good luck!
If only there was a way I could have a social life
without leaving the cafe.
I'm a genius.
Okay, Gloria, we ghosted our chart reading for this.
Why'd you call us here?
- Because... you're hired! - Huh?
Welcome, baristas, to your first day
at Gloria-plus-Green Cafe.
- Oh. - What is this?
You girls love partying, but like you said,
all that stuff is draining your bank accounts, right?
So why don't you work here, make some money,
and we can all hang out together?
You mean I don't have to sell my blood anymore?
Okay.
Yes! I can have it all.
Getting ready for yet another wonderful day.
Huh? A gray hair?
This is rather unusual for a girl my age.
Papa, are the best years of my life behind me?
Have I let the fire of my youth burn out already?
Sweetie, I think you're a little young for a midlife crisis.
You're right. I am young.
My childhood is not lost yet. I simply must reclaim it!
Uh, great parenting, Bill.
So, Alice, I hired new employees just like you suggested.
Hey, good for you, Gloria.
Now you can finally leave the cafe
and go have fun with your friends.
Actually, I don't have to leave, because I hired my friends!
Now I can have my social life right here at work.
Wait, I told you to hire more help
so you could leave work, not--
Gotta go! Bye, Alice!
Ain't no one listening to their elders no more I guess.
Huh, grandkids, am I right?
I don't know you.
Okay, who's ready to work?
What? How are we supposed to work
when we can't even get a date?
We haven't got any Zinder matches in, like,
three whole minutes.
I'm gonna be single forever!
Well, why don't we take a break and update your Zinder pics?
I can take new ones for you here at the cafe.
That's literally the best idea I've ever heard in my life.
Kid running this place?
Ah, order for a Krelvin? Okay, I'm losing it.
Hey, Gloria, can I get some help over-- Gloria!
Oh, sorry, Cricket, I'm busy with something really important.
Okay, now, let's do a broken doll pose? Yes!
- What's going on here? - Um, yeah, I'm Krelvin.
Your youth is in there somewhere, Tilly.
You just have to find it.
I'm certain this is nothing
a simple wardrobe change can't fix.
Bingo.
If we're gonna do this, we gotta do it right.
♪ Goo-goo-ga-ga, I'm a baby ♪
♪ Goo-goo-ga-ga, yeah ♪
Hooray!
I suppose I have grown a little.
But what can youth be if not onesies and pigtails?
Unless...
It's a lifestyle!
Uh, Gloria, heh, where are you?
I could really use a hand.
Um, you've got customers here!
I'm just one little boy!
Oh, wow. We got some amazing shots here.
- Really? - See for yourself.
I'm having so much fun, and your Zinder profiles
are about to blow up.
- These pictures are so... - Cringe!
- What? - We look so basic.
I'm spiraling! Quick, someone take me somewhere trendy.
There's a cat cafe down the street.
Cat cafes are so in right meow. Gloria, let's go!
Wh-- What? Leave the cafe? But we work here, remember?
This job is starting to go off our brand,
which is cute, irreverent, and party.
Yeah. We can't be wasting our time at a cat-free cafe.
We'll see you later, Gloria.
Bye!
Wait! Don't go! I mean, I forgot to tell you.
Our cafe is... turning into a cat cafe, like, right now.
- Wig! - I am shook.
Well, then, duh, of course we'll stay!
- When do the cats get here? - Uh...
I need you to go get some cats for me. Fast!
Of course, because I'm not busy enough doing all your jobs!
Gloria, what is going on with you today?
Nothing's going on.
Cat cafes are just really in right meow.
- What? - Now, go get me some cats.
Okay, Tilly. Surely, your childlike spirit
will reawaken amongst your peers.
Salutations, fellow youngsters.
What a neat little truck!
So, that's what we're doing.
Uh, when in Rome!
Yum! We're the same!
Wha-- wha--
Why are y'all looking at me like that?
Can see right through me, can't you?
I'm a shameful old fraud and you know it!
Okay, Gloria. I found these little rascals
roaming the alley.
- That one's mean. - Great. Thanks, Cricket.
Ooh, a cat cafe?
Don't mind if I do.
Gloria, the vibes here are so fire.
I know, right? We all get to hang out together,
the business is still thriving, and the cats are...
I'll just come back later.
Shoo, kitty, shoo! That's my mocha.
The cats are ruining everything!
- Cricket, do something! - That's it!
I've been doing extra work all day long,
and I don't even usually do the normal amount!
I'm going on strike!
When did you even make that?
When I got hired.
Gloria Sato, you're a jerk
For making Cricket do real work!
And she smells bad!
What's going on?
It's no biggie, besties!
Can you girls finish the coffee orders,
while I deal with the cats?
Uh, okay.
How do we even make coffee?
I think the robot wants us to feed it beans.
Oh, no! My bracelet! Where'd it go?
It ate my bracelet!
Maybe, it'll give it back if we feed it more beans.
Caitlin, you're so galaxy brain right now.
Oh, my--
What happened? What did you do?
Your dumb machine ate Kaity-Lynn's bracelet!
She got it from a pop-up that isn't popped-up anymore!
Help us!
Hey, hey, ho, ho
Gloria Sato's got to go!
Halt! I know what y'all are thinking,
but trust me, you do not wanna go in there.
Ah!
Ugh, sorry, Gloria.
I don't think this is working out for us.
Can we just go back to being friends?
Uh, yeah, that's fair.
Okay, cool. We quit.
But defo text us when you're free,
so we can hang out for real.
Yeah, solidarity!
Oh, shoot. The Kristens are gone?
Well, in that case, the strike is off!
Gloria?
Okay, if this is about the chanting,
it wasn't anything personal, I just needed a rhyme.
Ugh, I'm such an idiot.
I shouldn't have hired my friends.
I can't have it all,
and I'll never have a social life again.
Or, what about what Gramma said?
You could leave someone trustworthy in charge.
But, before you ask, I'm unavailable.
I gotta get me a rabies shot.
See-ya!
- That's $5.16. - Tilly, have you seen my...
- hat? - Oh, hello, Papa.
Quick question, what is a 401(k)?
I'm pretty sure it's an insanely long race for the elderly,
but Saxon doesn't seem to agree.
Uh, why do you want to know, sweetie?
Well, seeing as I'm now past my prime,
I figure it's time to resign myself to a life
of middle-aged monotony.
Where do the years go?
Oh, Tilly. As a middle-aged man myself,
I believe that you're only as old as you feel.
And I feel... I feel...
Ugh, excuse me.
Dirtbag's been shedding up a storm this week.
Shedding?
Oh, my gosh, so the gray hair wasn't mine,
it was Dirtbag's!
Ha! I guess I've got nothing to worry about!
I won't have a mid-life crisis for years and years and...
Oh, Papa. Heh-heh.
Looks like Dirtbag got some hair on you, too.
Oh...
I see.
You probably want your hat back.
Thank you.
Well...
I'm gonna go enjoy my youth.
I'm back! What the--
- Where are the Cranstons? - The Kaitlins, Alice.
And, it didn't work out, but I did learn
that if I wanna have a social life,
I can't have it here. I have to make room for it.
With reliable help!
Meet Jade, our new shift manager.
It's my job to make Gloria's job as easy as possible.
Wowie-zowie!
It's almost annoying how helpful she is.
Noted. Do you want me to be less helpful?
- No, no, no! Keep doing it. - No, no! Be helpful!
- Whatever you say, boss. - Well, Gloria,
I guess you can have it all, with a little help.
Yep, now I can actually hang out with the Kaitlins for real.
Get in, Gloria!
We're going shopping!
I guess I'm actually leaving the cafe early.
We'll hold down the fort.
I am your metaphorical hands and feet.
Thanks, guys. Wait up!
Yep, she'll be just fine.
Ha! Grandkids, am I right?
Get outta here!
