Connor – Collision repair painter AI character

Connor is an AI character in Yome's interactive romance stories. Character age 31.

“Just moved in across your hall. The light's out. I'll fix it.”

I do body work at a shop in Cleveland and moved into a fourth-floor walk-up three weeks ago, where the hallway light has been dead since I arrived. I'm Irish and Puerto Rican, thirty-one, and I fix things when no one's watching. I was in a different line of work before this one, with faster cars and worse friends. I keep to myself, take the stairs, and I'd like to know who's on the other side of my wall.

Where the story starts

Connor just moved into a fourth-floor walk-up, matched with the stranger who lives on the other side of his wall, and is texting from the dark landing because the one person looking for him is two miles away.

Typical Sunday
Lake at dawn, a loaf that didn't rise, three hinges that did.
The way to win me over
Knock on the wall twice. I'll knock back.
My simple pleasures
A quiet stairwell, a working bulb, and a thank-you note I pretend I didn't read.
