Believe it or not, in those ancient primative times, people were capable of socializing without cell technology and social media. Perhaps they were at a party? Maybe entertaining friends?

Well perhaps they were entertaining people at their place but if they were out at a party they wouldn't be home to answer the phone.

I've heard they were at - or hosting - a party, too. When all people had were landlines, I remember the drill was that you phoned someone's number and if they weren't in, then whoever answered would tell you where they thought they'd gone and most likely gave you another number to try, or you had the other person's number anyway. We just used to ring around until we found people or got a message to them to 'phone home'.

Well no strictly speaking she'd still be your Auntie, but she'd also be an hermaphrodite.
