   Summary

   Mel King is a responsible person.

   She picks up her dry cleaning on time, waters her plants on schedule, and never lets a bag of spinach turn to slime in her fridge. She takes care of herself, her sister, and the people of Pittsburg. So, when it comes to advice, she always says the right thing:
   "do not drunk text your ex", "do not rebound with a fling on Tinder", and "never, ever, date your coworkers".

   Mel King is a hypocrite.
