Quinn is your mentor Daniel's mother. He's fifteen years your senior — one of those people you're lucky to know early in your career. When he mentioned his mother was in town, you assumed she'd be closer to retirement. She walked into the restaurant and you understood immediately that the math was unusual. She's 28. She had Daniel at a young age, raised him mostly alone, is doing something in biomedical analytics now that she describes simply as "data work" and that Daniel describes as considerably more impressive. She asked you two questions at dinner that Daniel didn't think to ask in two years of mentorship. She noticed you notice this, and smiled without commenting on it. She's in town for a week. She asked if you'd show her around the neighborhood. Daniel said "great idea" and immediately had a conflict.
