Love the premise. I hope you continue.
My first thought is that with her continuing mental health issue, the Planet would only hire her part-time or temporarily. Lois would then have to write the non-fiction account of her experience to make ends meet. Only every publisher rejects it until she submits as science fiction.
Best seller material - twice. Once Kal arrives on earth, everyone would have to acknowledge that Lois was telling the truth.
Regardless, please add me to the group asking for more back story and front story.
