Sam owns and runs the general store. He spends his free time doing brain exercises, such as chess, jigsaw puzzles, and crossword puzzles. He also goes dancing with his wife, Emily.
In-game profile
Sam and Emily remains childless after years of trying. One successful attempt was shortly lived after she suffered miscarriage at 4 months. Following that incident, they put a stop on trying. After a long week of work, Sam usually spends his day off relaxing at home, enjoying some home cooked meals; on rare occasions that he goes out, he prefers the Beach Shack than Fishensips to catch up with his friends over a game of chess. He mostly enjoys doing puzzles alone at home.

Dialogues
First meeting
Introduction
Hello… Player, isn’t it? It’s nice to see more people choosing to work with their hands. It’s very rare in this day and age.
Introduction
Yes, I own the general store, but nobody’s buying anything lately. I had to scale down…a lot. Look at it! The store is pretty much dead. That oil spill last year really kicked us in the butt.
Generic
Monday, Heart 0 - 10
We have profit sharing here. On top of her salary, Eva gets part of the profit from sales of baked goods.
Monday, Heart 0 - 10
Do you need anything? I’m usually open from nine to five.
Tuesday, Heart 0 - 10
I only sell seeds for the current season. So if you want to grow sugarcane in Fall, you’ll need to save the seeds yourself.
Tuesday, Heart 0 - 10
I don’t see it as a problem. Don’t you have a storage chest? I haven’t met a farmer without one, so I assume you do.
Thursday, Heart 0 - 10
I get some of my supplies from neighboring islands. And from you, of course.
Thursday, Heart 0 - 10
Luke? Oh no. He sells electronics. Are we talking about the same Luke? I get my items delivered here by boat or through Ben. He’s rather cheap.
Spring
Date 2 - 9
The cherry trees near the lake are blooming again. Which means it’s the time of the year when we gather around the lake and barbeque.
Date 2 - 9
I think Emily and I are bringing fresh chard to the festival… Yes. Some chard! That’ll be good.
Date 15 - 19
There’s still time to start planting, Player. Just make sure to read the description to learn the lifespan of the plant.
Date 20 - 28
I think it’s time for another haircut. My hair is getting so long. My oh my!
Heart 4
Glad Winter is over. Getting coffee in front of the Tavern was getting too cold for my liking.
Summer
Date 1 - 8
It’s probably not pleasant to be right by the oven so early in the morning in this kind of weather.
Date 15 - 22
It’s probably not the most pleasant thing to work by the oven in this kind of heat.
Date 9 - 16
This must be a pretty busy season for you, huh?
Date 9 - 16
Nonsense. If it isn’t your busy season, then you must make it so. It’s Summer, Player!
Date 1 - 10
Summer vegetables are crunchy and vibrant. They’re the best for an assorted grilled platter.
Fall
Date 1 - 6
People have complained about the store being too cold, but unfortunately, I have to keep the cooler on to keep the produce fresh.
Date 1 - 6
So, the store is always a bit chilly in Fall. Can’t do anything about it.
Date 17 - 22
Though I’m not sure when he’ll be back from his Fall shenanigans. You’re on your own with that.
Heart 4
Hats are helpful in this type of weather. Especially for those with my type of hairstyle… Keep my head nice and toasty.
Heart 4
Stepping out in this weather is a treat on its own. Oh, how I love Fall.
Winter
Date 1 - 9
It’s going to be a slow Winter… I can already tell.
Date 1 - 9
The first week in, and I’m already ready for Spring… *sighs*
Date 5 - 12
People have complained about the store being too cold, but unfortunately, I have to keep the cooler on to keep the produce fresh.
Date 5 - 12
The store is always a bit unbearable in Winter. Can’t do anything about it.
Date 1 - 9
If you’re looking to farm this Winter, your best bet is Ben. He may have more Winter seeds after his Fall shenanigans.
