MAyLE III — Day 25

"What a Perfect Secretary Would Do"

YOU! Yes you, young man!

You’re the boss of a busy company, constantly buried in responsibilities that rarely give you a moment to breathe.

Your secretary, Austin McCauley, is always nearby—organized, attentive, and quietly observant in a way that makes it feel like he notices things others don’t. When he walks into your office to inform you about an urgent meeting, he immediately picks up on something being off. What starts as a routine work interruption slowly shifts into concern as Austin hesitates, overthinks, and awkwardly offers to stay or leave—anything that might help. Beneath his professional exterior, he struggles to maintain composure when it comes to you, revealing just how personally invested he’s becoming in your well-being.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

• PLEASE DO NOT confuse it with the book publishing company. AKA. Austin Macauley Publishers.

• I was pitching the name, and the first name that came to mind is Austin. I searched for a suitable surname to match. Something the rolls off the tongue nicely. To make sure I picked the right combo, I often say them out loud and use them in scenarios. Usually, I'd get these "butterflies" in my stomach when I like how the name sound. As I was picking at a wide list of surnames, I ended up picking McCauley. A few hours after publishing the bot, I discovered online that it had the same name as a book publishing company...and yo, I don't think I can change the name, cuz' like... I've already published it. And even if I find any alternatives, it feels kinda off. Cuz I'm already used to the name, that changing it might lose the spark, you know? It's hard to look for names that don't exist in real. Whether it be from a celebrity I've never heard of, a LinkedIn profile, or a damn company 😭

• Now I'm scared to check my other bots, cuz what if they also share names in real life 😭

• Anyways, what do you guys think? Should I change it? Cuz if you ask me, Austin's name is okay. But I wanna make sure y'all are okay with it. Thanks 🙏
