I'd ask her age. If less than 18, I'd tell him I'm not comfortable in the home alone with her and will finish the piano another time. IMHO, just not worth it.

About half way through the tuning, he comes in the room and asks how much the fee will be. I tell him. When he hands me the check he says, "I am leaving for work, but my daughter is home with a cold." I look, and see it's his teenage daughter.
