Yo-yos! Apple pies! Those little plastic sifters you find in kids' sandboxes!
What's that you say? Oh, I've forgotten to give you the context behind what I'm talking about 😄
Well, I'll leave that for you to figure out. Today's puzzle genre is Context, an invention from @Perpetual!

Rules: Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. An unshaded clue indicates the number of orthogonally adjacent shaded cells. A shaded clue indicates the number of diagonally adjacent shaded cells.

⚠️ Due to the nature of this genre, today's example is a fair bit trickier than the main puzzle ⚠️
