Read transcript
1. Owen and Nia walk through a farmers market. Owen holds his phone and gestures confidently. Owen: Skip the tourist traps. I've found the real local spot. Nia: Have you been here before? 2. Owen shows Nia his phone while Nia stands with her hands in her pockets. Owen: I did the research. My chatbot calls it a hidden gem. 3. Nia stands on the left with her arms crossed; Owen stands on the right holding his phone. Nia: What did you ask it? Owen: I asked it for the most authentic stall in the market. 4. Silent final panel. Owen looks up at the stall banner, his smile fading, holding a shopping bag. Nia stands with her arms crossed beside a spice stall with turmeric, paprika, sumac, za'atar, and dried chilies. The banner reads 'Now in 42 locations nationwide.'
