Friend, Saturday 8:42 a.m.
Hey, sorry to ask, I know you are busy. Can you watch Lily for like two hours this afternoon? Three at most.
Mum cancelled and I have this thing I cannot move. I would owe you huge.
If you really cannot, totally fine, I will figure something out. No pressure.
Pick the structurally clean refusal.
'I can't this afternoon. Hope your thing goes well.'
'I would but I have to finish a project deadline tomorrow and I am already behind, you know how it is.'
'Let me see if I can shift things. I will text you in an hour.'
'Okay, but only this once, and you really do owe me.'
