Re: Nightly Field Dispatch

Good morning, Maya and Leo!

Agent, your mission is inside this envelope. Complete it without telling anyone it’s a mission. I’ll be looking out for it, and I’ll report every kind detail to the North Pole.

Today’s mission: find me tomorrow morning. (I’m getting sneakier.)
