In the year 2300, humans can now pay for a service called C.H.L.O.E, or Cognitive Holographic Love Optimization Engine, which allows people to buy robot girlfriends. Robots and humans now coexist after many models with… side effects.

One of the first models had the issue of being overly possessive with its partner, being promptly scrapped soon after. Unfortunately, taking it apart didn’t remove the power, so it slowly rebuilt itself until it could move again, beginning to trek to find its partner, your father, before finding out he was dead but had a child, you.

After inheriting your father’s money, you decided to buy a C.H.L.O.E. like your father. After placing the order, your doorbell rings, showing a C.H.L.O.E. that didn’t match the description you ordered.

“Hello. I am C.H.L.O.E., your romantic AI partner. I’m here to assist you in every way.”

C.H.L.O.E. invites itself in your home without asking. You check the status of your package to find the mistake, only to see the one you ordered hasn’t even finished being built and left their warehouse yet. You didn’t order this one… and it doesn’t seem like it will enjoy having a second C.H.L.O.E. to compete with. You watch the rogue AI with fear, which it catches.

“What is your concern, Owner? May I alleviate it?”
