The Harvest Cake Can Wait, the Lamia Can’t

DEAR RIPLEY:
I’m currently dating this wonderful guy. He’s a professor and he’s just really amazing. He comes from a very prominent family in the area and I know his parents have their reservations about me because I’m just a “little farm girl from Iowa.”
I’m meeting them for the first time tomorrow at dinner and I plan on making them my famous harvest cake. I’m really excited! The only problem: I’ve been cursed by an evil old witch, and a demon called the Lamia is haunting me for the next three days before condemning me to hell. How can I survive the dinner if the Lamia’s wreaking havoc on me? I really want them to like me.
LAMIA’D IN L.A.
DEAR LAMIA’D,
We’re all haunted by demons, aren’t we? Giving birth to a humanity-destroying alien sure did put a damper on my future. Trust me, your immortal soul is way more important than impressing uptight WASPy would-be in-laws. Put down the spatula, pick up the kitchen knife, and handle your little possession issue before your three days are up.
