On Sunday, Aunt Ernestine is supposed to come to lunch. My wife has driven off somewhere. She might have gone for a drive or she could be picking up Aunt Ernestine, who cannot come over without help. I have no idea. Obviously, I could go pick up our old Aunt Ernestine, living 10 km away, myself, but I don't want to use the car unnecessarily. I could call her and only go if she’s home and hasn't left with my wife. However, Auntie's hearing is so poor that she doesn't answer the phone two out of five times when she's home. However, it's three times worse to not pick Aunt Ernestine up than to go out unnecessarily to pick her up. So, I have three options:

1) Do not go to pick up Aunt Ernestine;
2) Go to pick her up;
3) Call her and only go if she answers.

What should I do in this situation?
