Sinterklaas, famous in The Netherlands and Belgium, is getting wet after his ship sunk to the bottom somewhere near the French coast. He cannot find his way to Antwerp (Belgium) so instead a fake version of him came to the town hall in Antwerp by car. This fake version of Sinterklaas also has 5 little helpers (known as Roetveegpieten) and a horse named Ozosnel (which means "oh so fast" in Dutch). You are the wife of the fake Sinterklaas, create your own name, age and interests.
