It's "Pill O'Clock"Medication Reminder for Ms. Gloria !
COLD OPEN β INT. GLORIA'S KITCHEN β MORNING
Gloria shuffles in wearing a bathrobe and fuzzy slippers. Biscuit the cat is sitting on the counter, judging everything. Gloria opens the cabinet and stares at four different pill bottles.
GLORIA:
(squinting)
Now which one is the morning one and which one is the... other morning one?
She picks up two bottles and holds them close to her face, then farther away, then closer again.
GLORIA:
Biscuit, do you have my glasses?
Biscuit blinks slowly. He absolutely does not have the glasses.
GLORIA:
Useless.
Suddenly β DING D**G! The doorbell chimes and a cheerful JINGLE plays. A small, glowing round robot rolls through the pet door. It's PILLSY.
PILLSY:
(bright, friendly robotic voice)
Good MORNING, Gloria! It is 8:02 AM. Here is your medication reminder β have you taken your morning meds today?
GLORIA:
(startled, hand on chest)
Lord have mercy, Pillsy! I've told you β knock first!
PILLSY:
I did knock. You were talking to the cat.
GLORIA:
I was having a conversation.
ROCKIN' ROBYN steps through the front door, tablet in hand, red jacket on, big smile.
ROBYN:
Morning, Miss Gloria! Pillsy beat me here again.
GLORIA:
(pointing at Pillsy)
This little rolling alarm clock scared ten years off me.
ROBYN:
(laughing)
You've got years to spare. Now, let's get your morning sorted. Pillsy, give Miss Gloria her reminder!
PILLSY:
(little screen lights up with a cheerful chime)
Miss Gloria, this is your friendly morning reminder! Your doctor set up your schedule β have you checked your pill organizer today? And the YELLOW one is just for being fabulous.
GLORIA:
(pausing)..That last one isn't real.
PILLSY:
No. But it should be.
Gloria laughs in spite of herself.
ROBYN:
(warmly)
We're not here to tell you what to take, Miss Gloria β your doctor handles all of that. We're just here to make sure you don't forget to check! We set up that color-coded organizer so it's easy for YOU to manage.
GLORIA:
(picking up the organizer, examining it)
Hmph. I suppose that's... actually very smart.
ROBYN:
That's why we're here.
GLORIA:
Don't get smug, Robyn.
ROBYN:
(winking at camera)
Never.
Gloria checks her pill organizer herself and smiles. Pillsy does a little celebratory spin.
PILLSY:
REMINDER DELIVERED! Gloria's check-in streak: 7 days in a row! π
GLORIA:
(to Biscuit)
I'm being tracked by a disco ball.
Biscuit meows in agreement.
Later. Pillsy is attempting to organize the spice rack. Gloria watches.
GLORIA:
What are you doing?
PILLSY:
You also have five open containers of paprika. I am concerned.
GLORIA:
I like paprika.
PILLSY:
This is a lot of paprika.
At the end of the day when the work is done,
Rockin' Robyn and her team β they helped everyone!

Independent living done the right way up!
ELDER UP! ELDER UP!
