Part 3/9:
An Unlikely Job Offer
Amidst this chaos, Maddie finds a glimmer of hope when her pregnant friend Sara shares an unusual Craigslist post crafted by helicopter parents seeking a woman to date their introverted son Percy for the summer, with the promise of a car as payment. Maddie, despite being much older at 32, seizes this peculiar opportunity, believing it could alleviate her financial burdens.
Upon meeting the Beckers, Percy’s parents, Maddie quickly realizes that they want her to maintain the façade of a genuine relationship for Percy’s emotional well-being. They describe Percy as a shy 19-year-old who struggles socially, which sets the stage for Maddie’s unique task—helping him gain confidence in the dating world.
