Nora
I own a bakery, and in order to drum up some business, I hire the local radio station to do a live action broadcast from my bakery.
I did not realize my mic was still on when my secret crush, hockey player Leo Lavinski, walks in, and I announce to the world (or to my entire small town of Whisker Hollow, which is about the same thing) that I am madly, crazily, captivatingly enchanted with him. With his biceps, to be exact. I really never noticed much else about him.
If that wasn’t bad enough, my bakery goes viral that very day because The Most Holy Trinity Baplicdist Free and Sovereign Church of Whisker Hollow declares my cupcakes to be R rated.
That should be a death sentence, but every millennial in the state of Virginia wants to get a few R rated cupcakes for themselves, and I find that I’m famous for all the wrong reasons.
I just want to go home to my apartment and cry, but I end up babysitting a parakeet and opening the door to find Leo standing in my doorway.

Leo
You ever watch someone’s life go off track so fast and so hard that you cringe and feel sorry for them even if the only thing they’ve ever noticed about you is your bulging biceps?
So, yeah, that’s how I end up standing at Nora’s door with my cat, who is a licensed therapy cat, thinking we might be able to cheer her up a bit. (Also, it was a little annoying to think that she never even noticed I had a head, or legs. Did she really only see my biceps?)
Anyway, she lets my cat and me in and I didn’t mean for this to happen, but after we have the most competitive paper airplane contest I’ve ever witnessed, we hatch a plan that might help get her life back on track. She asks what I’m getting out of our bargain, and all I can say is that I want the world to know I’m more than a set of bulging biceps, but what I really mean is, I want Nora to know that.
