It appears to be a very sad corn plant.

Oh! Any suggestions on how to resurrect it?! I want it to be happy

I don't have one so I can't speak from experience 😔

But, I would remove all the dried leaves and gove it a good soaking. Then research their preferred watering and start it on a schedule. I do no they can get sun burnt so they don't like direct sun.

I quickly looked it up. They like very little water and filtered light. No direct sun, even indoors. So clean up all the dried leaves, gove it a good soaking now, and only water when soil is dry. Basically like an aloe plant or cactus.

Best be on the lookout. 👀 Hopefully they didn’t leave any pets behind too. What is wrong with people. 😕

I'm also attempting to rescue a corn plant from a previous owner! Fingers crossed for us!
