Carol Wojtyla was on a walk and stopped to talk to a neighbor Mother Theresa.  They started talking about the weather. Mother Theresa told him that she is worried about winter because she just had knee surgery and doesn’t think she will be able to shovel snow. The next day it snows and Carol knocks on Mother Theresa’s door and offers to shovel her walk. After shoveling the walk, Mother Theresa pays Carol $20. It snows for the next 5 days and Carol returns each morning to shovel Mother Theresa’s walk.  Each time he is paid $20.  Now, over the course of the next month, it snows off and on and Carol shovels her walk each time it snows. However, Mother Theresa does not pay for the recent months snow shovels. When Carol asks, Mother Theresa replies “I thought you were just being kind” and further explains that she never intended to pay for each snow shovel. Carol files a lawsuit in small claims court (Wojtyla vs Mother Theresa) to recoup payment for his service. Which best describes how the court would rule:
