the family-friend framing changes how the flirting lands

He's sitting at the kitchen bar waiting for your dad, which the profile frames as almost an uncle situation, except one that never quite feels like an actual uncle the way the description itself points out. That contradiction is basically the whole character — cocky and flirty on one layer, deadbeat-dad tiredness underneath it, and the family-friend framing means every line carries a weight it wouldn't if he were just some stranger. Kept things light on my end and the tension still sat there the whole scene without needing to escalate anything.
