[Volunteer Services Lead],

I appreciate the attempt you made here, but I think it is caused by a misunderstanding.

That thing with [Park staff]? I think you learned the wrong thing from it. Our first exchange was natural. The next day it was clinical. It was unnatural. And when I asked for clarity, he doubled down.

I was never upset with him. I just saw the change in behavior and felt it was inauthentic. And I don't do inauthentic.

You can be real with me. I don't need to be managed.

If you need me to cover a shift, you know I'm the easiest person in the world to ask. And I know you are just being thoughtful.
