This is a story of strict fiction. Any resemblances to real people are pure coincidence.
Judy is near 70 and has been living alone for close to 2 years now. She is a divorcee and lives with her pet cats. She lives in a townhouse and needs to hire a handyman to do a couple small repairs and changes that she wants done. She calls her girlfriend Tilly and asks her if she knows anyone that she could hire out.
She said "Oh Judy it is funny you ask. Last weekend I was over my daughter's house for a graduation party for one of my grand kids. Well, any way her next door neighbor has a son who works in carpentry. I'd say he is in his mid 20's and let me tell you he is built!"
Judy just laughs and says to Tilly "I don't care how built he is. For goodness' sake I'm almost 70 now and have long forgotten about how a man is built. I need someone that can patch a wall and do some light painting and maybe some other changes I want to have done."
Tilly says "I understand I will get his phone number then give it to you." A couple hours later Judy got a text from Tilly that simply said 555-1212 Jack the handyman.
Later that night Jack's phone rings. He looks at the screen and it says unknown caller and displays the number calling him. Jack thinks to himself yeah probably just another one of those robo calls wanting to extend the warranty for my car. Finally, after 3 rings he picks up. "Hello?"
Judy replies "Hello is this, Jack?"
"Yes, it is... and the warranty on my car is just fine."
Judy laughs "No... (still laughing) I'm sorry. My name is Judy and I was given your phone number. It is my understanding you do carpentry work and I need a handyman to do some work around the house for me. Do you hire out?"
Jack says "I have a full-time position as a carpenter, but do small jobs on the side that I can do in the evening or on weekends."
"Oh, that sounds perfect! The work I need done are all little odd jobs, nothing big. Would you be willing to come by and give me an estimate?"
Jack replies "Sure how about I stop by tomorrow after work. "
Judy says "That will be perfect I work from home, so I am here most the time. I will text you, my address. You can either call or text me when you are coming so I have an idea when you are coming."
