Alyssa and Ilan have been in a relationship since 2007 and are now married. They both lost their jobs during the pandemic, but acting on their feet, launched a highly successful baklava business which is now paying their income.
In theory, Alyssa runs their business day to day, but in practice, Ilan won’t let her. He considers himself an entrepreneur and believes that “Alyssa thinks inside the box...she is not an entrepreneur.”
Notice the communication between Alyssa and Ilan. How do they talk to each other? How do they talk *about* each other? As the episode goes on, I find more and more clues about what’s really driving the conflict in their relationship.
