Special Events
At some point in the game; the Mayor will come to your house (on your farm) and tells you that his daughter, Maria is missing and the Mayor thinks she ran away from the mansion for some reason and asks you to find her.

It may take several days (you will not be able to find her on the weekends) since you need to find her before 5pm. Once you visit the Carpenter's Shop; you will see that the carpenter and his apprentice will attempt to try to conceal Maria's presence, but Maria will appear and explain why she ran away to you before heading back to her father's mansion.
