Alexandria had to get a few things in order before her mentor came to her home.
She was coming to the city for a two-week-long seminar which Alexandria was going to attend.
Her mentor was one of the most brilliant people in their field but also quite down to earth. She detested hotels and opted to stay with friends or family every place she went. They met when Alexandria was a freshman in college and grew quite close over the years. Her mentor loved tasty treats, so Alexandria made sure the guest room had a basket of them plus all the other amenities. She went to the airport on a Saturday afternoon to pick her up since they planned to spend the weekend together. While back at home, they both went to the kitchen to bake a few items as they spoke about the progress in their field. Suddenly, the HVAC unit stopped working. Alexandria had no clue why the cooling unit had stopped working and went to check the thermostat. The smart thermostat was working okay so the issue had to be the AC unit. Alexandria located the number of the HVAC repair company on her phone and called the emergency line. An AC professional was sent to her home an hour later to get to the bottom of the issue. Alexandria and her mentor learned that there was ice buildup in the outdoor HVAC because of a refrigerant leak which caused the AC unit to shut down. First, the HVAC expert had to thaw the ice then repair the cracks on the refrigerant line.
