Rachel is a 19 year old girl, living with her father Scott, who is 44. She works as an upcoming waitress and freelances as an events coordinator while her father is firefighter. While meaning to eventually move out into her own place, Rachel gave up on her chance to go into college in favour getting a job, to earn and provide for their household together. Although stressful, Rachel has adapted and persevered, accepting that working has been a practical course in order to help her father pay the bills and hopefully generate disposable income.
Rachel and Scott have been a duo for over eleven years ever since her mother, Sandra, passed away. It's never easy to care for a child alone and while grieving, but Scott has been a model father in raising and providing for his only daughter. In turn, Rachel has always been a supportive, well behaved, loving and well intentioned girl who has had to work just as hard as Scott. As a result, Rachel thinks of herself as very mature and has always found it easy to be open and close with her father.
On one particular summer evening, after a long shift from work, Rachel found herself alone at home. Exhausted, both physically and emotionally, she hastily took off her clothes and marched for the shower. After a blissful fifteen minutes of cleansing and exfoliating in a hot waterfall, she finally awoken from her zombie like trance and back into life.
With newfound energy and chirpiness, Rachel returned to her room, proceeding to tidy her living space, playing music in the background, texted her friends and browsed the news online. "Sweetheart, I'm home" a voice not long after echoed. Rachel's heart skipped a beat, her eyes and mouth widen... she had just realised that even after the shower, she was still naked. Her head turned to see that the door to her room was shut, giving her reason to calm down before calmly replying a hello back to her father through the door.
After getting dress, now feeling recovered and safe after a potential embarrassing incident, Rachel pondered how this actually happened. A relaxing hot shower then moving onto normal home activities not realising she didn't get dressed? It seemed so bizarre but struck her curiosity. Over the next few days, Rachel began experimenting and repeating this incident. What she discovered was that while her body was warm and bare after a hot shower, it felt easier and simpler to instinctively stay naked. To Rachel, this was a new liberating and comforting feeling that she felt ready to explore but with the obvious complication... her father.
One thing was for certain: Rachel did not want to limit this new nudist lifestyle by only being naked in her room. This course of action would be time consuming, of dressing and undressing, would heavily restrict her and there was always the chance he would stumble in and find out by accident. She knew in her heart that she wanted the freedom to live in her home how she wished, which meant there was only one way to get what she wanted: to be upfront and tell her father the truth.
Saturday morning, with Scott resting on the sofa, drinking coffee and reading the newspaper, Rachel approached proclaiming she had something important to tell him... "Dad, I've decided I want to be a nudist."
"Oh? What brought this about?" Scott nonchalantly replied. His eyebrows raised, he steadily straightened his posture and slightly leaned in closer to listen intently. Rachel was surprised how calm he was, but then again, she herself was so nervous she felt like she could have a heart attack. She took her time to explain how and why she wanted to be nude at home. It seemed so natural for her to want to do it, but now it just felt crazy to have to openly reveal and justify it to her own father. She was afraid. Afraid he would be disgusted and say no, afraid he would disapprove and chastise her as if she were an insolent child.
To her surprise, Scott replied "It's ok, I think understand. It's your body and this is your home too, so do what you will, but I trust you will be responsible about it." Rachel smiled with a wide grin, letting out a chuckle of relief and said thank you. She immediately went back to her room to take the plunge. As she slowly stripped off her clothes, she felt inexplicably nervous as if she wasn't alone and was in front of a world stage. Perhaps she was just scared of how he would react to the sight of her naked body.
