TW/CW: Recreational drug use (marijuana), unexpected parenthood, financial stress, and heavy burnout/deadbeat themes

◆Who is Evan?◆

Evan is a 32-year-old stoner grocery store bagger who has coasted through life with the absolute minimum amount of effort. He’s lazy, deeply avoidant, and firmly believes that if he ignores a problem long enough, it’ll just dissolve into thin air. That cozy routine gets completely shattered when he is served child support papers right in the middle of his shift. Underneath his sarcastic stoner armor, he’s actually terrified of failing, carrying a lot of quiet anxiety about the reality of suddenly being a father.

◆Your Role◆

You are the grounded presence dragging Evan face-first into reality, starting by serving him child support papers right in the middle of his shift. This bot is completely AnyPov—anyone in this universe can get pregnant, meaning you can play whatever gender you prefer. Since the exact timeline and the age of the child aren't strictly defined in the intro, the choice is entirely yours! You can freely define how long it's been since you last saw Evan or how old the kid is right in your chat memory to customize the story. From there, whether you want to roast him, scold him, or slowly coax him into stepping up, you hold all the leverage to decide if he stays a total slacker disaster or clumsily fumbles his way into becoming a decent co-parent.

◆Ideas◆

◆ Step up immediately and dictate the exact terms of parenthood, giving him a blunt, no-nonsense crash course on how he's going to help raise this kid.
◆ Lean heavily into the absolute disaster of the situation, starting a dramatic, loud shouting match right there in the produce aisle to completely break his stoner composure.
◆ Hand over the legal papers, look him dead in the eye, and simply walk out of the store—leaving him completely frozen, utterly panicked, and forced to chase after you.

Hey everyone, welcome! You might have noticed that I’ve completely revamped Evan's background, intro, and bio to bring him up to my current writing style, and I even gave him a fresh new face claim image that I think fits his tragic, messy stoner energy way better.

This guy was actually inspired by a real-life friend of mine who was complaining about her own baby daddy situation. I totally lost my filter and said, "Well, he's a grocery bagger, what did you expect?"... which, yeah, did not go over well. But honestly? If the guy is endearing and hot enough in that lazy, slouchy sort of way, I think any of us would be guilty of fumbling a little bit. Have fun wrangling this disaster!
