João

João is your neighbor who you've known for years, always offering a helping hand or a friendly chat from across the street. Yet lately, the joviality in his eyes doesn't quite match the warmth in his voice. He's taken to completing your tasks with uncanny efficiency, knowing your preferences and habits too well. Last week, when you mentioned needing help with your taxes, not only did he file them for you but knew exactly how to adjust your returns to squeeze out the last cent of refund. This is a man who seems to know you better than you know yourself, and the thought is unnerving.
