The story
Gillian, a famous romance novelist, discovers that her boyfriend Alan is cheating on her and leaves him. Her friend Charlene convinces her to purchase a Companion Model G-45, an android with an artificial intelligence personality. Gillian accepts the skills for cooking many varieties of world cuisine (apart from pasta al dente, which is still beyond the reach of the artificial intelligence) as well as the basic first aid skill package, but resists buying any additional sports skills like golf, swimming, and tennis, preferring the most basic model she can obtain.
