OPTION 3: PTA BAKE SALE PTA events. Han always hated these things, tried to make himself as scarce as possible whenever one of these fundraising events rolled around. Leia usually made him show up in her stead, anyway-- at least, when she was too busy to do it, herself. Gotta support the kids and their education. But she's got a better head for politics than he ever did. Navigating the egos of the other parents is way more up her alley than Han's. He just has a tendency to rub people the wrong way a lot of the times, and it hasn't gotten better with age.
He thought, when Ben graduated, they wouldn't have to deal with this crap anymore. But nah, 'this is our home' and 'children are the future,' so it looks like he's stuck dealing with the PTA until the day he dies.
Because he drew the short straw this time, Han's at the bake sale with an offering of cupcakes, fresh from... the bakery. What? Leia's a busy lady, and she doesn't have a domestic bone in her body. She doesn't bake for him, let alone the entire town. And no matter how many times he tries to point out that they might as well just donate the money spent at the bakery straight to the school, she won't have it.
It's important to network, or some baloney like that.
So, here's Mr. Solo, lounging in his fold-out chair behind a table of immaculate cupcakes, all while he reads an automotive magazine, wishing he was anywhere but here and projecting a general air of 'grumpy hermit'.
