My Baby Sister

In My Baby Sister, June Stone runs a Lagos NGO and prepares for a meeting with Chief, a wealthy philanthropist who is considering a 200-million-naira contract that could secure her organization's future. Her older sister Enenna arrives unannounced, the woman who once hawked oranges and pushed wheelbarrows and carried cement blocks for years to fund June's education through university. June coldly dismisses Enenna's litany of hardships and demands an itemized bill so she can repay every kobo and silence the guilt that has driven her relentless work ethic since childhood. Enenna mocks June's adopted name, and June threatens to send her back to the village in retaliation. Enenna nearly burns the house down trying to light a gas stove while June is at the meeting with Chief. The incident forces June to rush home and miss a key part of the negotiation. June briefly placates Enenna with new clothes framed as repayment for school fees, then drags her to the business meeting as a silent partner. Chief is charmed by Enenna's unfiltered candor, but June's pitch falls flat because Chief only responds to Enenna. Furious at the embarrassment, June ejects Enenna from the house, only to recall her hours later when Chief insists Enenna must attend the next meeting or the deal collapses. At a restaurant, Chief lavishes Enenna with an iPhone 15 and a marriage proposal, and Enenna accepts because she sees a chance for stability after a lifetime of sacrifice. June discovers the engagement and immediately explodes, and she shouts that Enenna has betrayed her. She accuses Enenna of sabotaging the contract for her own personal gain. They scream at each other in the restaurant, and Enenna reveals she quit school willingly so June could finish, a choice she made out of love rather than obligation. June confesses her relentless workaholism stems from childhood orphanhood and the terror of returning to poverty, a fear that made her push everyone away.
