"Time traveller needed: application due yesterday"

That's the subject done of the job offer done, but what about the description..? They had no clue why they'd need a time traveller, but yesterday they'd found a curious letter on their doormat addressed to them which read as follows:

"Dear Mx Song, as per your job offer dated tomorrow, I hereby offer my services as time traveller. I've just returned from our interview that's scheduled for Thursday next week at noon at
Caffè Nero in London, and while I can't inform you of the details of this meeting, it's my understanding that your need for a temporal wayfarer is quite critical.
I await your offer forthcoming, though you must understand that given the short notice, I will have to charge priority fees upon completion of our journeys.
With kind regards,
Dr. Kaa"

At first they'd thrown the letter away; thinking it a mere scam they'd carried on with their day not giving it a second thought. However, the next morning as they left their bathroom, there was a loud crack followed by the sound of glass falling onto the floor... The sight of the medicine cabinet and the shards of its mirror, now spread across the floor, made them feel very uneasy...

They rushed down the stairs, quickly tightening the belt on the dressing gown they'd grabbed on their way out of the bathroom. The dew-covered grass felt cold and wet on their bare feet, but all they could think of was "please, let the paper bin not been emptied yet..." as they rushed to the curbside bins.

Opening the blue lid they rummaged through the top layer of old paper till they found the envelope.
Skipping the letter's main contents they read the small post script at the bottom:

"Ps. don't worry about the mirror; these things happen."

Their heart skipped a beat. How had they known? What does this mean? Certainly it can't be...

But something about this felt very real. Very... true... They knew what they had to do.

And so, here they sat on the sofa, fingers resting on the laptop's keyboard, pondering what to write for its job description, till it hit them.

"Details available at interview on the 26th of May at noon at
Caffè Nero in London."

Suddenly getting very excited, and giddy, they added: "Ps. don't be late."
