I 100% agree with both of you. It does feel like a cop out, but it was really difficult to find an outside the box interpretation. One of my earlier ideas was that you were working from home and had a date after. Your goal was to clean up your apartment in your limited free time before she came over or your extremely neat girlfriend would break up with you. I scrapped that because it would be too much for me in the time limit, but I really liked that one.
