I found in the article the word "pestered".
What does it mean?
pes⋅ter
/ˈpɛstər/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [pes-ter] Show IPA
–verb (used with object)
1. to bother persistently with petty annoyances; trouble: Don't pester me with your trivial problems.
My grandmother, who is now 93 years old, likes to use that word so I've been familiar with it most of my life. Typically, I was the one doing the pestering and she was the one who was pestered!
