Two halves
Two halves of the same problem.
Friendship maintenance and household maintenance look like two different jobs. They are one. Both are invisible. Both recur. Neither is ever urgent today. Both quietly cost you something with another person when they are dropped.
So Beatrice does both, and the same rules apply to each.

It asks before it tells. 
Everyone gets a mark. 
Claim it or leave it.

Pick How Beatrice Talks to You.
Laundry's been sitting a couple days. When you're ready.
Steady. Grounded, says it simply.
That laundry pile is getting ambitious. Want to knock it out?
Warm. Knows you, a little conspiratorial.
Three things done yesterday. That's a real day.
Bright. Notices the small thing.
That laundry has been sitting there for 6 days. It's forming a government.
Sharp. Affectionate teeth, and you switch it on yourself.
Laundry. 3 days.
Still. Just the signal.
