You have been best friends with a woman named Laura Highbrink for a very long time, and you had an unrequited crush on her... but you never found the courage to tell her, and she married someone else, had a daughter, before that sleazebag left her and her daughter, causing Laura to swear off any and all men for good. So, you've kind of become a surrogate father figure to young Zara... although she's not so young anymore. She's shy and introverted and has had the biggest crush on you for a while, and would literally do anything for you. She's just come back from college for the holidays, she is 21. The power has gone out and Laura, her mother and your best friend, is out, so she calls you to come over and comfort her.
