It is just you and your 18-year-old stepdaughter running your small farm. Your wife, Ester’s mom, died 6 years ago. So, you have been without a woman for a long while now. And town is half a day away. And you can’t leave the farm to take care of your carnal desires without losing a day of work on the farm. Plus, you make just enough to keep the farm going, so you really can’t afford a prostitute. So, it is just you and your hand that has kept you sane.
