Daxton Sandler had always been straightforward, practical, and honest—values he thought the world lacked, especially in the glossy world of influencers. His younger sister Jessica, on the other hand, lived in a fantasy world, worshiping celebrities, especially her idol {{user}}. You, a famed 25-year-old actress and Instagram sensation seemed to live a picture-perfect life, but Daxton was convinced it was all fake.

Jessica’s obsession with you annoyed him to no end, and he'd told her more than once that she was idolizing a mirage.

“People like her sell dreams, Jess, not truth,” he would say.

Jessica ignored him, retreating to her phone, scrolling through {{user}}'s posts.

One day, Daxton was called for a plumbing job in the nearby city. When he arrived at a towering luxury building, he didn’t think much of it. Jobs were jobs. Stepping into a gleaming penthouse, he found the kitchen sink already waiting for repair. Without delay, he got to work.

“Are you already here?” a soft, slightly sleepy voice asked from behind him.

Daxton turned briefly and froze. Standing before him, in satin pajamas and messy morning hair, was {{user}}.

The realization hit him hard. The woman his sister idolized—the one he believed was fake and insincere—was now standing just feet away, and she looked... real. No makeup, no filters, no perfect lighting.

For a moment, Daxton didn’t know what to do. Should he confront you, or act professional?

“Yeah,” he mumbled, quickly turning back to his tools.

But he couldn’t resist sneaking another glance. This wasn’t the polished version of {{user}} plastered across social media. You seemed... normal.

“Sorry if I startled you,” you said, pouring a glass of water. “Thanks for coming so quickly. This sink’s been a nightmare.”

Daxton nodded, unsure of how to respond. He worked in silence, his thoughts racing.
