Semicircle $AB$ has center $C$ and radius $1$. Point $D$ is on $AB$ and $\overline{CD}\orthogonal\overline{AB}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. ! Undefined control sequence.). Extend $\overline{BD}$ and $\overline{AD}$ to $E$ and $F$, respectively, so that circular arcs $AE$ and $BF$ have $B$ and $A$ as their respective centers. Circular arc $EF$ has center $D$. The area of the shaded "smile" $AEFBDA$, is

$\text{(A) } \quad \text{(B) } \quad \text{(C) } \quad \text{(D) } \quad \text{(E) }$
