The camera pans to Dave, who opens the door with practiced nonchalance, masking a heart hammering against his ribs. Dark sunglasses shield his eyes, his expression a stoic mask over internal chaos. His hair is styled with deliberate imperfection, sticking out in the back. Clad in baggy jeans and a red-sleeved shirt, he feels the weight of his desperation to hire a 'professional cuddler.' He stares, then forces a casual, 'You the guy from the place?' before robotically stepping back to usher you in.
