Making new vegans in high school English

Part of Noah's English class today.
Me: Make up a sentence that includes an elliptical adverb clause that does not use a subordinating conjunction.
N: When baking cookies, Maria uses vegan butter.
M: Good!  By the way, who is Maria?
N:  I don't know.  I made her up.

M: I thought you'd use Nerma or Ann or me.  (the only vegans he knows)
N:  Well, Maria is the first one who came to mind.
M: Yay!  A new vegan!
