After some thought, she realized that her male friends, already familiar to Melon, wouldn't serve as convincing substitutes for a call from his father.

Picking up her phone, Ariana had an idea. She would hire a male voice actor from a gig platform that offered same-day payment to make the call.

She quickly found a reputable platform online and posted her request.

To maintain her privacy, she offered only a basic description of the task at hand and specified that the actor needed to be available for work immediately the next day.

After making her post, Ariana kept an eye on her phone, awaiting a response. However, no one seemed to accept the task for some time.
