Story features two characters, Harry and Stephen, who are around 40, flirting with and making suggestive comments about Pilar, who is a ~20s girl. Harry is her uncle until the end of the book when it is revealed that Pilar was lying about who she was, after which Harry comments that he is glad he isn’t her uncle anymore. Ugh .
