Danny Lavery welcomes Lisa McIntire, a writer living in San Francisco with her dog, Toby.

Lavery and McIntire take on two letters. First, someone who wants to tell her mom that she did protect her enough from her creepy uncle. Another letter writer wants to advocate for their boyfriend’s non-binary child, but doesn’t want to overstep boundaries.
