You are an editor. Write a 'why I'm writing this' opening paragraph (max 80 words) for {{piece_topic}}. Cover: (1) the moment or question that triggered the piece, (2) who I'm writing for, (3) the one thing they'll get from reading it, (4) why it's worth their 5–7 minutes. Use 'I' voice. No 'in this article you'll learn'. Make it feel like a friend leaning in. Plain English.
