Improve Grandmother’s Mood

First, it is a good idea to tick off the goal to improve Nyssa’s mood asfuture tasks at this stage may anger her. Once her mood is up it will be ticked off the goals list and her mood for the rest of the scenario is inconsequential.

A good way to improve Nyssa’s mood is tokeep her away from the grandchildren for a while and let her complete some fun activities on her own.
