"The title "Dial A for Aunties" is indeed a pun! It's a playful twist on the familiar concept of a "dial-a" service (like "Dial-A-Pizza" or "Dial-A-Ride") but instead of a service for things like food or transportation, it humorously refers to a group of aunties.

Here’s how the pun works:

The phrase "Dial A" is often associated with calling a service, and the letter "A" could refer to a specific category or option.
In the context of the title, "Aunties" replaces whatever service might normally be offered, suggesting that the story might involve calling upon, or interacting with, a quirky or helpful group of aunties in a comedic or dramatic way.
So, the pun comes from the familiar structure of a phone service (dialing a number or letter for something) being humorously applied to a family situation involving aunties, making it both playful and intriguing.

This title is also a nod to the "Dial M for Murder" classic thriller, blending suspenseful genre conventions with a comedic twist."
