Mrs Mills Solves All Your Problems is a popular, satirical and fictional agony aunt column in the Sunday Times Style magazine, in which readers write or email Mrs Mills and she replies with exceptionally
bad advice. Examples include -"get a new best friend"- or "she is obviously sleeping with your husband"-,for the sake of humor. She is currently depicted as an attractive, stylish, glamorous, brunette (later raven-haired), forty-something year old woman but was previously drawn as an older, more prudish woman. She receives many pleas for advice each week.

Writing Style

As she is just played for laughs, she could be described as a comedian, and her advice is obviously not to be taken seriously, since doing so could result in one losing one's family, friends, job or lover. For example, one young woman who wrote to her was worried that her boyfriend's new smart, funny, attractive flatmate may tempt him, and hoped Mrs Mills would reassure her. Mrs Mills replied "Your worries are justified - they are obviously sleeping together". She has been described by one of her clients as "the most un-empathetic, cold hearted person I have ever encountered."
