Should I wake my lodger? Hasn't turned up for work

My lodger works in a nursery and starts around 07:30.

Her boss has messaged me this morning to ask me to get her to get in touch as she hasn't turned up for work.

I actually heard lodger getting up this morning, but then I went back to sleep.

Is it my business? I'm inclined to think not but then, if she's accidentally slept in she might appreciate me waking her up? I've only just seen the message so she's already very late.

Boss knows who I am as we're both in the same social group.

WWYD?

Twaddle. They’d just go and knock on the house door anyway if they didn’t phone and then the OP would have answered the door instead.

I hope none of the people on here who wouldn’t ‘get involved’ by knocking on a door never have anyone they care about living alone and dying because some one didn’t want to ‘get involved’.

Absolutely. Knocking in a door is hardly "involved"

If she hasn't turned up for work & hasn't messaged to say she' not going in or she hasn't returned messages from her boss then their next action would be to contact emergency contacts to check everything is ok. Give her a knock asking if she's ok & tell her to let her boss know what's happening.

Am I being incredibly dim? Is this person OK?

She's back at her job now. She'd only been there a couple of weeks at the time of my posting.
I am not sure if she's okay if I am honest. But the initial situation has been resolved!

Definitley check on her. This happened to my MIL who didn't turn up for work and when we sent someone to check on her she'd had a stroke.
