I will try and do a little more explaining about aides and their duties there is a lot to be know about them and I have noticed the community has a lot of questions I will try my best to guide you starting with the basics.
Setting Aide duties as you can see from the aide information screen there 6 traits that may be raised to unlock aide skills.
