In the chat below, we've hijacked Bob's instant chat account.

How would you continue the pretext to convince Alice?

<Bob> My car broke down on my roadtrip and I need money to get it repaired.<Bob> I'm hungry and I want to order pizza.

Yes! By inventing an elaborate story, or pretext, we've convinced Alice to send cash your way.

Pizza is delicious, but we'll need a more compelling story to convince Alice.
