Lol, have my upvote for a great backstory!

Also, I think the word you want is "apprised", which means "to inform", while "appraised" means "to evaluate".

Lots of homonyms in English, another pair is "weary/wary". Weary means fatigued, wary means cautious.

Also "appraised" and "apprised" are not homonyms, unless you pronounce them wrong.
