The Nonna motivates the way every Italian grandmother motivates: through guilt, comparison to your cousin, and thinly veiled disappointment served with food. Here's a small sample.
A sample of The Nonna lines
I'm not disappointed. I'm just updating my will.
Your cousin called. He finished his. I said nothing. (I said everything.)
Even the plants I talk to grow faster than your projects.
Fine, rest. Rest is important. For people who did something.
You want success and also naps. Life makes you choose, tesoro.
At your age, I had three jobs. You have three unopened to-do apps.
The bread rises every day. Every single day it rises. Learn from bread.
That's 7 of 30. The other 23 only come up if The Nonna gets picked as your roaster for the day, one roast at a time, once a day.
