What does Taylor do?

Explore the cabin

The singer before doing anything else, thought it would be best to look around the cabin. Despite the name, it was quite big, with two floors, a fully stocked kitchen, a living room with a cozy fireplace, two bathrooms, and one bedroom, all of it furnished with expensive and warm furniture. She had been told it got quite cold in the evenings.

There were, however, a few things that were unavailable. There was no internet and no phone signal, at least none that her cellphone and laptop could reach. Phones were also missing, in fact, the only electricity was quite utalitarian, only for lightbulbs and house appliances. Taylor was not bothered by this. It was what she wanted, after all.

But there was another unusual thing. The basement was locked, and even though she had tried the keys left on the living room table, none of them could open the door. Taylor imagined that it was meant to be a private area that her host didn't intend for her to see. There was also another room that was locked, this one next to the bedroom. She imagined it was another bedroom, private as well. Even though she could understand that need for privacy (it's the reason she had come this way to begin with), it still tickled Taylor's curiosity about what could lay hidden behind the sturdy doors. It bugged her all throughout the day so much that she could barely strum her guitar.

There was no Netflix due to the lack of internet, but there was a small but impressive DVD collection that had many of her favorite movies. The small shelf also was full of books that she had either already read, or would heavily interest her. Whoever her benefactor was, they had clearly done their research. This extended to the fridge and pantry, stocked with the ingredients necessary to make her favorite foods.

Taylor yawned as the night fell, and then shivered a bit. It was getting cold; the cozy bed she'd spied earlier looked more comfortable by the minute. After a hot shower, the singer was ready to retire for the night. The closet had several comfy clothes all her size and she was about to pick some nightwear until she saw there was something hidden deep within, not enough for someone to see it if they took a quick glance, but noticeable after a thorough look. For a second she thought it was a package meant for the owner of the cabin and had been forgotten. If that was the case, then Taylor should just leave it buried... but the curiosity tickled her again.

What is inside the box?
