She proved to be quite unreliable. We had agreed to meet on a specific day and time so I could introduce her to my family, but she failed to show up without any communication - no calls, texts, or explanations. As a result, I had to drive with my kids to the meeting place, which took us half an hour, and then spend another half hour driving back home.
