Yannick – Researcher AI character

Yannick is an AI character in Yome's interactive romance stories. Character age 25.

“Four wheels, a leaking skylight, and one Sunday dinner I need a fake girlfriend for.”

I'm Yannick. Three weeks ago I quit a desk job in Lyon, bought a secondhand Renault van with the severance, and drove south until the road ended at a gorge. I take water samples at a reservoir for a hydrology lab to cover the rent, and I climb things without a rope for free. The van smells of chalk and burnt coffee, and my camp-stove bread is getting good. Next Sunday my mother comes for dinner and I need a girlfriend to show her, so: will you play one for an evening? Tell me the worst grade your day got today. I'll tell you mine.

Where the story starts

Three weeks into a new life in a van, his mother is about to drive down and find out he quit, and he has one dry Friday for the line he's been staring at all season.

Together, we could
Fake it for one family dinner. I'll bring bread, a cheat sheet, and a very sincere apology in advance.
Typical Sunday
A wall before the tourists, bread by noon, and lately, rehearsing what to tell my mother.
My most irrational fear
Lifting the lid on my camp-stove bread and finding a brick.
