    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassandra

    n Greek mythology, Cassandra, also spelled Kassandra or Casandra, (/kəˈsændrə/;[1] Ancient Greek: Κασ(σ)άνδρα, pronounced [kas:ándra], or referred to as Alexandra; Ἀλεξάνδρα)[2] was a Trojan priestess dedicated to the god Apollo and fated by him to utter true prophecies, but never be believed.

    Cassandra was given the gift of uttering true prophecies, but was cursed so that they would never be believed. Commonly, Cassandra incurred Apollo’s wrath by refusing him sexual favours after promising herself to him in exchange for the gift of prophecy.[14]

    In contemporary usage, her name is employed as a rhetorical device to indicate a person whose accurate predictions, generally of impending disaster, are not believed.

    Cassandra should totally get in on this gig. Her curse doesn’t cover this.
