Try to keep things dry. Make sure the air is circulating well in the kitchen. About all you can do until they get there, as far as I know. From having two different roofs leak.

Thankfully if it just started everything could be good. Especially with you getting people out there quick. Roof leaks are the worst.

Good luck with it.

You have damage to your roof. It might be minor and fixed with a little timely maintenance.

But the longer you leave it the worst its going to get. The moisture will start damaging the structure of the home.

Get it fixed ASAP or you are going to look at a lot worst bill/having to rebuild some of the structure at least if you try to ignore it.

You also have to worry about mold. Moisture in your walls/cieling is how you get things like black mold or something else which will seriously fuck with the health of anyone inside and, again, be much costlier to clean up and fix the longer you leave it.
