The only upside? She gets to take home leftover ingredients and whip up modern spins on the Bangladeshi dishes she grew up eating--all while enjoying her second greatest passion, professional wrestling: namely, her hero Sierra Myst, the massively successful, high-flying heel who's built like a superhero and is every bit as daring. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne night, Zarina posts about Sierra Myst, and the impossible happens: Sierra responds.
