Competition: Helping Hands Make Light Work

Finished
Helping Hands Make Light Work

It’s been a few months since you’ve taken over as farmer for your plot of land, and everything seems to be going along swimmingly! Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of another farmer just down the road, who seems to have had their farm partially trampled by a tide of wild slime-pigs. Who is this farmer, and do you help them rebuild? Do you ignore their plight? Do you ignore the farm entirely and fall in love?

I swear I get to the prompt eventually. I just gave myself a lot of build up to address in the last one and this prompt wasn't entirely expected lol. More liberties in SW x the game elements and my hyper fixation with Stardew
