you need to have a high repair skill and u go to ur kitchen during daytime and try looking out, if you have the glass pieces (you get em from the crackhead by the lake) you can fix the binoculars to unlock another character lol
there's a few events around, but mainly manor hallway poster, you'll get repair events that get ur skill up, it feels kinda random tho since I went several in-game weeks without anything to fix
