Day 4: Grandmother Alya

3 minutes to write synopsis, 20 to write.

Alya is a grandmother, who has escaped from living in an aged care facility for a day and is travelling along the bus route. Sometimes she just likes to do this; it makes her feel like a part of the world again. She's an old Russian woman with a lot of history and personality; she migrated to Australia by herself after her husband and sons died in the war, and several years ago was forced to move into an aged care facility due to her cerebral palsy.

On the bus she meets an inquisitive little girl by the name of Karrie Fischer, who is trying to entertain herself on the bus ride. She asks all sorts of questions, and eventually the secret that Alya is escaping the aged care facility for the day--comes out.

(Part 1 done! Now to actually write it...)
