My new character Chieko (widowed woman of 60s.) turns to kick away bait was really unexpected.

This Facebook lad uses Google Translate, and he gave up with Chieko after this conversation.

My translation in blue. (For Chieko's speech to show what Chieko really said.)
Google translation in green. (For both Chieko speech and lad speech.)

How Chieko speak in Japanese is a kind of polite language, usually spoken by stereotype high class ladies in TV drama but actually not used as practical Japanese language. This makes difficult for lad to translate what Chieko says into English. After this chat, the lad withdrawn.
