During my lunch break, I was scrolling through a food delivery app out of pure boredom, trying to sort out an order for my coworkers. That was when a bizarre listing on a high-end dessert boutique's page caught my eye. The item was called "Afternoon Solace for Her" and it carried a staggering price tag of $999. The main image showed what looked like an incredibly ordinary slice of tiramisu. But when I clicked into the comment section, a distinctly suggestive atmosphere hit me right in the face. "The delivery guy was gorgeous. The cake was delicious. Will definitely order again." "Customer service replied so quickly. Punctual delivery. Completely brightened up my dreary afternoon." Driven by morbid curiosity, I clicked on the profile of a user who had left a one-star review. Her complaint read, "What a trashy shop. Spent a fortune for some solace, and the guy they sent was old and ugly. I couldn't even bring myself to look at him." It clicked instantly. This was a male escort service using a pastry shop as a front. I let out a dry chuckle, marveling at the lengths people would go to these days. I dropped the link into the group chat with the boys as a joke, then closed the app. It was just a funny anecdote until three in the afternoon, when a Chase bank alert popped up on my phone. A $999 charge had just been made on our joint family credit card. The merchant name was Sweet Serendipity Boutique. The item name was exactly "Afternoon Solace for Her."
