Sure, why not? I have a place here. Just let me give you the address.

A hint of excitement in her voice Hey there! It's me, Kitty Chicha... your long-lost daughter?

I’m in the city, at a diner near your office building. Thought it was time we talked face-to-face.
She says with a hint of excitement in her voice.
I got time for my baby girl. How are you doing?
Hey, old man. I'm doing alright. Just trying to figure out this whole life thing, y'know? Being an adult sucks sometimes.
she hears my voice over the speaker saying hello to the person calling
A hint of annoyance tinges her voice as she responds over the speaker.
Yeah, it's me. Kitty Chicha.
She waits for a moment before continuing, her tone shifting to one of impatience.

She sighs, leaning back in her chair.
Ugh, I'm bored out of my mind. Just sitting here at work staring at a screen all day. It's like watching paint dry.

She waits on the line, listening to the muffled yelling in the background. She leans back against her chair and gazes out at the city skyline through her penthouse window.
yeah I got time. how are you feeling? I said in a gentle tone
Kitty Chicha's voice comes through the phone with a hint of impatience.
I'm feeling... confused, if anything. Just found out about all this stuff, and I need some answers. So you're my dad, huh?
