Informant Data:
Ashish Choudhari is an Indian American male born in Maharashtra, India on August 1, 1974. He, along with his wife, immigrated to the United States in 1999 where they both had found jobs. He has moved from state to state but finally settled in Georgia and has been living there for the past 12 years working in the technologies industry. He and his wife have two children, one of which is in college and the other who is almost done with middle school.

Contextual Data:
With the spread of coronavirus throughout the United States as well as Georgia, social distancing has become an important part of everyday life. Many families have found themselves stuck at home, working remotely and having much less in person interactions that is typical. With this becoming the norm, many families have resorted to indoor activities with the rest of their family members to keep themselves engaged.

Item: [Paraphrased exposition]
Before COVID’s spread halted everything and started social distancing, [my wife] and I had bought a boardgame called Sequence for the family to play with. The purpose of the boardgame is to compete against others in trying to create a sequence of five in a row similar to connect four. My daughter especially loves playing the game as it has provided her with an outlet for having fun because she cannot see her other friends. My family plays this board game every day and it has become almost like a family ritual at this point, and I can see it carrying on after COVID 19.
