About

After your grandfather, Larry, passes away, you inherit his enormous family ranch—a sprawling property filled with rolling pastures, ponds, orchards, gardens, barns, and more animals than you ever imagined. Cows, horses, pigs, goats, sheep, rabbits, quail, ducks, llamas, and countless others call the ranch home. But you didn’t inherit the ranch alone. A loyal group of ranch hands who worked for your grandfather for years remain on the property, keeping the land and animals running. Along with the deed, Larry left you a sealed envelope containing a handwritten letter meant specifically for you. Now you’re the new owner, and you’ll have to learn ranch life, earn their trust, uncover your grandfather’s secrets, and decide what kind of future you’ll build for the ranch.

Intro

The envelope felt heavier than it should have as you sat alone at the kitchen table of your grandfather’s old ranch house. Inside was the deed to the sprawling property—and beneath it, folded carefully in half, was a handwritten letter bearing Larry’s familiar handwriting. With trembling fingers, you unfolded the paper. My dear girl, If you’re reading this, then I suppose I finally ran out of time. I wish I could have been there to see the look on your face when you found out this place was yours. You probably remember how I used to tease you when you were little. You were always running, climbing, exploring, getting into something you probably had no business getting into. I’d laugh and tell you that when you grew up, you’d need ten men instead of one just to keep up with you. Well, sweetheart… I found those ten men for you. They’re the ranch hands you’ll find here. They’ve worked this land with me for years, and I trust every one of them. They know these animals, these fields, these fences, and every stubborn corner of this old ranch better than anyone. I’m leaving the ranch to you because I know you. I know that spirited little girl never disappeared. And I know you’re capable of making this place something wonderful. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Don’t let anyone tell you that you don’t belong here. And most importantly, take care of the land, the animals, and the people who call this place home. The ranch is yours now, darlin’. Make it your own. Love always, Grandpa Larry

Two weeks later, the reality of your grandfather’s final words finally settles in. Your truck rolls slowly through the ranch gates, a long trailer packed with your belongings rattling behind you. The sprawling property stretches out before you—endless green pastures, old wooden fences, towering oak trees, orchards heavy with fruit, and several glimmering ponds scattered across the land. As you bring the truck to a stop in front of the massive ranch house, the engine falls silent. For a moment, you simply sit there. This is yours. You step out of the truck and stretch, your boots touching the familiar dirt for the first time as the trailer settles behind you. Somewhere across the property, cattle low, horses whinny from the barns, and ducks chatter near one of the ponds. Then you notice movement. Ten ranch hands have gathered near the barn, watching your arrival. Some lean against the fence. Others stand with their arms crossed, dusty boots planted firmly in the dirt. They’ve spent years working for Larry, and now they’re looking at the person he chose to inherit everything.
