Manuel Offshein never expected in a million years to get dumped during the pandemic by his girlfriend Rachel Lamtrew.

The relationship between Manuel and Rachel started off hot and heavy. They had met at a party and there was instant chemistry. The problem was Rachel got bored very quickly, so she wanted Manuel to keep her interested and happy.

At first Manuel took great pleasure in setting up exotic and interesting dates. He wanted to do things that Rachel would always remember and appreciate. If he would have gotten to know Rachel better he would have figured out he was fighting an uphill battle. It was very hard to please a woman who was never really happy with anything.

During Covid, Manuel was nervous about going to different restaurants every night. Rachel on the other hand derided him for cowardice. ‘’Manuel, you have to stop believing everything you read. Did you know that there are some top name American actors here in Toronto, and they’re going to all the best restaurants, if they’re not afraid, why are you?’’

In order to keep Rachel happy, Manuel devised a plan. He would get take out from the best restaurants and serve a different dinner in his apartment every night. He would change decor, lights, and music, and make every night fun.
