"America is the same," I say, trying to keep my voice light.
"But when are you going to bring us a husband?" Auntie Chiamaka jumps in, her voice carrying that sing-song tone Nigerian aunties use when they're about to give unsolicited life advice. "There's no more time, my dear. Your biological clock is ticking."
