I'll fix some dinner in a minute.

[Topstudent]

I'm writing a script.

Living room. Evening.

Toby comes down the stairs. His mom is hanging up a picture.

Mom: Hi. Have you been sleeping?
Toby: Yeah.
Mom: I thought so. You must be hungry. I'll fix some dinner in a minute. I just need to get this picture up.

QUESTION: Does "I'll fix some dinner in a minute" sound completely natural to you here if the mom has been busy unpacking all day as they've just moved into a new house, too busy to think of dinner yet, so she'll probably just make something easy, that can be ready quickly?

Is this set in the US?

It's not natural to British English to use 'fix' in that way. If the characters are American, it's good.

Yeah, in the US. Thanks.

Just so you're clear, the idea is that she will soon (in a minute) begin to make some dinner. It is not saying that she will fix something that is quick (be done in a minute).

From context, we may assume she's doing something quick, but that is not what the statement says.
