In August 2022, KITV Island News reporter Diane Ako met Connie Asentista in Aiea, Hawaii. Asentista was 88, and she was still showing up at her vacuum franchise six or seven days a week. She had a simple reason for staying on the job. “I know what’s going on in the world,” she said. “I don’t want to be idle.” KITV’s article identified her as the owner of A’s Kirby Sales & Service, a Kirby vacuum shop at Harbor Court in Aiea. She bought the franchise in 1999. “My husband said, ‘This is hard work for you,’” she recalled. “I said, ‘Well, nothing like trying.’” Ako told viewers that she did try, and that she became an award-winning salesperson.
