Chapter 7 Summary: “Session Seven”

Despite her tenuous financial situation, Cara is glad to see an email from Alicia the Psychic, who promises Cara that wealth will come. Alicia has foreseen three fortunes that will visit in succession. For a reduced fee, Alicia the Psychic will perform a ritual to guarantee that the visions come true, or Cara can request her money back. Though Cara sends Alicia no money, she believes Alicia’s prediction because it comes with a money-back guarantee.

Cara believes that she will make a good security guard for the school because she has the right temperament to keep people safe. To demonstrate her suitability, she tells a story about going with Ángela to pick up Ángela’s daughter Yadiresela from school. At that time, a man approached them, claiming to know Hernán and requesting a picture of Yadiresela to show his wife. He claimed that his wife would not believe how much Yadiresela has grown. Ángela posed with her daughter while Cara was suspicious enough to take pictures of the man, believing that Ángela had given personal information to a trafficker. News of missing girls in Washington Heights had been on the news frequently, and Cara censured Ángela for lacking common sense.
