What I Do

A lot of nothing. Which is exactly the point.

🪑
Show Up

I arrive when and where you need me. Campus, downtown, your apartment lobby. I'm there.

🤐
Say Little

No unsolicited advice. No coaching. No "have you tried journaling?" I'm not your therapist. Just present.

☕
Sit With You

Study sessions, waiting rooms, awkward events. Sometimes the hardest part of being alone is being alone.

🚪
Leave Cleanly

When the time's up, I go. No lingering. No expectations. No follow-up unless you want one.

Who I Help

More people than you'd think.

🎓
Mizzou Students

Thesis defenses, grad visits, family weekend when family can't make it. I fill the gap.

📦
New to Columbia

Just moved here? Friend group not built yet? I'm a low-stakes way to not eat alone.

🏥
Medical Appointments

Nobody should sit in a waiting room alone. I'll come with you. No questions asked.

🌿
Older Residents

Company without obligation. A walk, a coffee, a quiet afternoon. I'm good at that.

📚
Anxious Studiers

Sometimes the library feels too empty and home feels too loud. I'm your middle ground.

What People Say

Real feedback from real humans.

— Grad student, Mizzou

"I moved to Columbia for work and didn't know a single person. Eating alone every night was getting to me. This felt weird at first and then it just felt normal."

— Young professional, downtown

"My kids are across the country. Some days it's nice to have someone sit on the porch with me. No drama, no fuss."

— Retired resident, north Columbia
