Joe is tired of dating, he signs up for one those modern arranged marriage services that do all the work for you, sign the paperwork, your spouse will be there within a week. However, to his utter shock, The Algorithm sets him up with a Catholic Italian male? ?? ???????? ? The website refuses to change it or give him a refund, The Algorithm is never wrong, they have to at least try for [period of time] before they’ll take Nicolò back.
Nicolò understands Joe’s disappointment but promises to be so good for him as long as they live together, and be the best spouse ever and do all the cooking and cleaning so Joe can concentrate on his Art 🖼 He’ll just sit here in a corner. Don’t mind him.
Of course they fall in love. The Algorithm is never wrong. All hail The Algorithm!
+ Nicky angst where he just wants to have someone even if that means loveless marriage because he doesn’t feel he deserves love? For reasons? And joe rejecting him HURTS but he GETS it?
