Challenge #05017-M268: Time to Smell the Flowers

I've watched over this house a long time, never had problems with inhabitants being a problem until now. This human keeps pushing themselves finishing all the work. I like having something to do, so I'm going to start slipping something in their evening tea to make them sleep, so I can have work, too. -- BKF

Some people have no clue. They're not willfully ignorant or under-educated. They know what they need to know and have their ways of making it to live another day. I guess the best way I could describe them is... over-dedicated and determined.

They push too hard to get everything done, burning their candle at both ends, so to speak. Only to end up burned out and laying in a puddle of themselves, if I may stretch the metaphor.

My name is Tontu, and I am the Nisse for a chronic work-a-holic. I should be bitter and turning into a Bogey, but... I can see how dedicated they are to what they do. And... if I don't look after them... who will? Turning into a Bogey is just going to make everything worse for them. And I have seen how they spiral when I try to slow them down. I have to help them in other ways.

Do you know of the Nisse? They're what you might call House Spirits. Some know them as Borrowers. Some say they are House Trolls. Some call them names that are not polite. Sometimes, they are helpful. Sometimes, they are malevolent. Most of the time, they are mischievous.

They all have the same name, which is convenient for them.
