[music] Sorry, I don't know how I missed your text, Dad.

Sweetie, your mom and I are just worried about you.

Maybe come home, just for a little bit.

Dad, we've been over this, okay?

I need my own space.

I need the lights and the late nights and the anonymous people all around me.

I need all the things that living in Novato isn't.

You also need to pay your bills and do your laundry and eat something that isn't a package of carrots for dinner.

Your mom and I could help if you'd like.

I know I'm supposed to pay my bills, Dad.

It's just not something that I'm equipped to deal with at the moment.

I may have found something that might help.

Are you going to tell me what that something is?

Right, sorry.

It's called Adultalyzr.

It's only in beta right now, but I qualified for early access.

It's your context-sensitive environmental AI grown-up friend who will virtually guide you into the world of adulthood.

Uh-huh.

How are you planning on paying for this thing?

It's called a pay-when-you-can model.

It's free up front.

Well, how does that even work?

I don't know.

How does any of this work?

Allow access to all phone functions.

Done.

Audio device.

Audio device.

Yes, okay.

Install Adultalyzr's proprietary AR ocular interface.

Hello, and welcome to your personal Adultalyzr companion.

Hi, who are you?

I'm your personal Adultalyzr companion, and I'm here to help.

You may call me Addie.

Please wait a moment while I run internal diagnostics and updates.

Whoa.

Freaky.

Congratulations.

Firmware updated to V.045.A.

What is your name?

Keely.

Keely Moran.

I can't do this.

Can you just take everything off of the screen?

Are you ready to start adulting now, Keely?

I'm actually tired.

Could we start tomorrow, Addie?

Are you ready to start adulting now, Keely?

Not really.

How about later, Addie?

Are you ready to start adulting now, Keely?

Later, Addie.

Okay?

Are you ready to start adulting now, Keely?

All right, Addie.

Let's start.

What should we do about this one?

It would be best to call them and see if you can settle your debt.

Would you like me to talk to them?

What?

Can you do that?

Yes.

You will call them and talk to them, but I will tell you the words to say.

Should we call the landlord?

We could, but it may be more instructional if you learn to fix it ourselves.

I can help.

First, we must go to the hardware store for tools and supplies.

Apologies.

First, we must get you dressed like a human being who lives in a society.

These clothes are perfectly fine for going to the hardware store.

Nevertheless.

Addie, I could kiss you.

Mwah.

It's at the time.

I have to work.

Do you not want to change?

No.

No time.

Don't forget your name tag.

Thank you.

[laughter] Oh my God.

Then what happened?

That is when I remembered the bikini.

That is when I remembered the bikini.

[laughter] All right.

Let's get this party going.

Do you not think you have had quite enough to drink tonight?

What?

That's a party foul.

You need to drink.

You're an adult now.

You need to show some restraint.

No.

I'm fine, but maybe you're right.

I know I'm right.

I know I'm right.

Not you.

Are you okay?

You don't seem to be entirely here all of a sudden.

No.

It's just that Addie?

Addie, who's that?

[clears throat] I meant Daddy.

My dad.

He worries about me too much sometimes.

Keely, who's coming for dinner?

Huh?

Oh, Tess, someone that I met at the bookstore a while ago.

We've been talking, and I finally had the courage to ask them out.

Them?

When did this happen?

Oh, right.

You were updating, so you wouldn't have heard.

Yes, them.

Don't be so old-fashioned, Addie.

I'm the latest in context-sensitive environmental AI.

I am not old-fashioned.

I can't tell if you're mad or offended or if that was a joke.

Hello?

Addie?

Cooper, I'm so glad you came.

Thanks.

Thank you so much.

Yes, okay.

Sorry.

Come on in.

Come on in.

This is me.

Welcome.

Lasagna?

That's my favorite.

How did you know?

Well, I saw you looking at the lasagna recipe in that cookbook at the bookstore, so I made it.

Sit.

Yes, okay.

I shouldn't.

I have work tomorrow, but tell me more about this novel you want to write.

If you need a suggestion, I do love a cozy history.

Well, it's not a mystery, but the only thing I want to cozy up to is you.

[chuckles] [retch] [laughter] Dad jokes.

I knew you were too good to be true, but if you keep doing that, you might just get your wish.

Bye.

Addie, are you back?

I had the most wonderful time with Cooper.

I wish you would have been there.

Addie?

This Cooper, she's no good for you.

I scanned her face and ran it through my database.

They, not she, and you did what?

Did you know she was arrested for protesting the president?

Attacking a police officer?

They were nice and sweet, and Cooper laughed at my stupid joke.

You have to trust me.

You have been an adult for only a few weeks.

You need me to guide you into proper adulthood.

Do you trust me?

Do you?

I-- yes.

Excellent.

Let us wrap up the leftovers.

You probably will never hear from this Cooper again.

That is how people like her are.

Them.

While we are tidying up, we can talk about applying to the data science program at UC Berkeley.

Data science, but I want to be a novelist.

Nevertheless.

I'm not good at math.

I can help with that.

You need to think about your future.

Position yourself as a woman of value.

A woman of my future?
