Interdimensional Traveler

You accept her offer to translate for you. She speaks to the shopkeeper in Dutch, then translates to you when he replies.

"He says if you're here for the marijuana festival, all the inns and hotels in town are booked, but you can find lodging at a farm about three miles west of town. And they speak English. Or, if you like, you can help me collect and process all the marijuana taxes due in the area. Truthfully, I'm a little overwhelmed, and I'm authorized to hire help."

Marijuana tax? Sounds like someone in this dimension really knew how to get rid of the national debt!

Then you suddenly realize why this person looks so familiar.

In your home dimension, she is an actress. You think she may have played a superhero in a Superman spinoff, and some eccentric studio head's assistant in a show marketed to teenagers.

But here, she's an IRS agent. But isn't she Canadian, if you recall correctly?
