Overview
It is early January 2021 and Covid-19 is a major concern although there is now hope in sight since there are new vaccines available. Another major concern is the shutdown of essential businesses, closing their doors for good. Al Jenkins, a chef and his wife, Rowena Jenkins a hair stylist are forced to work as Dasher’s for Door Dash, to deliver food orders to people’s homes. They have a 16-year-old son, Todd who wishes to become a veterinarian and does his schoolwork at home virtually.
