She never even got to say her probably over-rehearsed trademark intro to the Go Pro that was fastened definitely a little too zealously to the end of its selfie-stick.

There was no hey there Nanci Boys and Girls; it’s your girl Nanci!

There was no framing-a-photo-with-one-hand intro-motif.

And there was definitely no going into the secret abandoned apartments of the New York Library to teach the internet all about the hidden rooms and levels of this city that lay only just out of sight. All that despite finally getting official approval to go there after a lot of bureaucratic wranglings, because apparently officials underestimated a college girl with a plaid skirt and spears of red hair just about brushing her ears.

Ok, sure.

Nanci Kilvert would be the first to admit she didn’t necessarily look like much. But that wasn’t about to stop her from her highest-tier duty… reaching her goals. She was going to become New York’s best travel writer just after becoming its best vlogger, dammit! She’d mapped it out perfectly, and she was definitely on schedule!

And if there was one thing Nanci was very, very proud of, it was the fact she never let anyone or anything get between her and ticking off another item in the day’s primary itinerary. Like, when the library officials had been bleating about the asbestos risk and the black mould risk and the probably-having-their-asses-sued-off risk, Nanci had set them straight right away, because A: they’d obviously just assumed that she wouldn’t have tried the fifteen most effective protective masks research could find and bought the three that suited her best, just in case of malfunctions or some very strangely inclined muggers, B: the officials were perfectly happy to let people on those super limited yet very lucrative organised tours go in without any of the required equipment, and C: why would the acting president of a sorority and a half-a-million-subscriber YouTube influencer who’d never had even one demonetization strike be some kind of wanton teen delinquent worthy of barring from a building?
