Well, I didn't think I would get desperate enough to post about this on Mastadon, but here I am.
I am searching for apples and oranges in Animal Crossing New Horizons. I have been looking for almost 2 years now. If anyone would be willing to let me come to their island to pick one tree of those fruits, I would be so grateful!
