Thank you everyone on this sub. I found a new friend and got a shiny tandemaus as a reward.

I posted here a few days ago admitting I wouldn’t be able to complete the cozy companions tasks because they needed me to complete party challenges. People here encouraged me to use the campfire app and I actually found someone in the same suburb as me! We had seen each other before in the park; well, we had seen each others dogs and recognised them (not each other lol). Anyway, we did the party challenges and I got a shiny tandemaus! (On a side note, they could have tried harder with the shiny form right?!?) So thank you everyone for the encouragement, and I now have someone to play with.
