What's Christmas Without Walnut Cookies?

Theodora wanted to spend the lead-up to the holidays and Christmas Eve quietly at home. Alone. But everything turned out differently because her new tenant moved in with her teenage daughter at the end of November. And from then on, Theodora's highly appreciated walnuts suddenly disappear from the terrace. Who could be responsible for this? The mother and teenager seem to celebrate the pre-Christmas season extensively. At that point, Theodora realized she must get rid of them as quickly as possible. But soon after, she became involved in their daily lives, more than she could ever have imagined.
