Does the mansion have a [vocab word=pool]pool[/vocab]?

To "seat 10 people" means 10 people can sit in the theatre.

(14) Harper: Listen
How often do you housesit for them?

"How often" is a question for frequency.

(15) Richard: Listen
This is my first time. But, the couple goes on a vacation every year. So, I'm hoping to housesit for them every year.
(16) Harper: Listen
Sweet. Jason and Becky are coming over later. Let's start cooking the dinner.
