I found in the article the word "pestered".

What does it mean?

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!

Oh, thank you.
