This idea come from some real life events but the story is made up with embellishments.

I work in the hospitality industry - for a hotel to be exact. It is a comfortable job and enjoy meeting new people every day from all parts of the world and trying to make their stay enjoyable. Until Covid.

It was hard for people from all walks of life, but some of the jobs were hit really hard. We were one of those. We do not have the luxury of working from home. At first it was the international travelers. We knew it was not good but thought we will manage with domestic visitors. Then the domestic travel started to slow down. We thought we can survive this with reduced hours and pay. But we still had our job. It did not take long before even domestic travel was shutdown. We were told to stay home until further notice. I cannot blame them. There were no visitors and the whole place were empty. They did not know need us.

We told ourselves, we will dip into our saving until things get back to normal. We hoped it will be soon. But days turned into weeks. Weeks turned into months. Saving ran out. Friends and family help dried up. The credit cards are close to getting maxed out. I looked for other ways to earn. Not much were available. Most of the local businesses were closed and too many people were in my situation.

I asked anyone I knew: "Do you know anyone who is looking to hire? Even part time?"

I pretty much texted everyone in my contact list. So it was not a surprised that I messaged you too - a few mistakes were bound to happen.

You used to come to the bay area regularly and used to stay at the hotel. From the first time, you took an interest in me. For me, it started with being professional and friendly to a guest. I also liked that you talked to me like a normal person. In those post dinner hours in the quiet front lobby, you often talked about your work and family. Despite you being a lot older and from very different walks of life, those interactions felt comfortable and even enjoyable. I even agreed to exchange numbers so that we can keep in touch when you visit again.

But soon I started to feel your interest had bit more to it then just some friendly face to talk to while traveling and far form your family. Your comments and suggestions started to be less subtle. I did not mind the attention, thinking it was just a harmless game. Until the time you called me to your room with the pretense of something wrong with it. I went to your room and soon realized what you had in mind. I was shocked and surprised that you would think I am that sort of girl. You kept sayings, "No one has to know." And "I will make it worth your time". I did not stay to hear what else you had to say.

That was the last time we talked as friends. After that there was always the coldness. But it was a while ago. Maybe you changed the hotel to avoid the awkwardness. I did not mind either.

So I was surprised when I got a text back from you saying you feel sorry about my situation and offering to help. Despite my better judgement I texted back a few days later. And it did not take long before you were direct about the proposal. I think not being face to face made it easy for you to be more direct. And for me to think about the options. I did not have a lot of options and hte promise of privacy and help was hard to ignore. After all, I thought, I know him. He is at least safe.

That is the first time I started to realized the old saying; desperate times Call for Desperate Measures. But also learned that desperate measures may lead to delightful discoveries.

I am looking men to play the role of the older men. I am flexible with the details. I want to hear your ideas and share mine and make sure it works for both.

I am 32f single and from Cali and new to this subreddit. Looking for getting to know each other a bit and our preferences an building an engaging and interesting story. Prefer older men in my time zone (PST) who enjoys conversation and written words.

I prefer mutual sharing and I like to your ideas and thoughts.
