When Korede´s dinner is interrupted one night by a distress call from her sister, Ayoola, she knows what´s expected of her: bleach, rubber gloves, nerves of steel and a strong stomach. This´ll be the third boyfriend Ayoola´s dispatched in, quote, self-defence and the third mess that her lethal little sibling has left Korede to clear away.
