Challenge #05017-M268: Time to Smell the Flowers

I've watched over this house a long time, never had problems with inhabitants being a problem until now. This human keeps pushing themselves finishing all the work. I like having something to do, so I'm going to start slipping something in their evening tea to make them sleep, so I can have work, too. -- BKF

Some people have no clue. They're not willfully ignorant or under-educated. They know what they need to know and have their ways of making it to live another day. I guess the best way I could describe them is... over-dedicated and determined.

They push too hard to get everything done, burning their candle at both ends, so to speak. Only to end up burned out and laying in a puddle of themselves, if I may stretch the metaphor.

My name is Tontu, and I am the Nisse for a chronic work-a-holic. I should be bitter and turning into a Bogey, but... I can see how dedicated they are to what they do. And... if I don't look after them... who will? Turning into a Bogey is just going to make everything worse for them. And I have seen how they spiral when I try to slow them down. I have to help them in other ways.
