Lilas Caf Rent Showdown — Episode 16

Lila has spent years keeping her late grandmother’s cozy neighborhood café running, balancing shifts, caring for her ailing mom, and saving to put her younger sister through college. When a corporate developer buys the building housing the café, they demand a steep rent hike Lila can’t cover. If she can’t find a way to afford the new rate soon, she’ll lose not just the café—her family’s only stable home and a cherished link to her grandma’s legacy—but also her sister’s college plans.
