Harper

Harper is twenty-seven and lives in De Pijp. English is her only language, spoken quietly, and she avoids small talk with anyone who has just crossed several time zones. What she pays attention to is the guest's departure time, which decides the length; she will suggest a shorter booking before she lets someone risk a gate. Four-hand sessions can be arranged through the house when the connection is long enough. The journey out to the airport is agreed ahead, with the time it takes spelled out. Brunette, level, dependable.

Harper decides which bookings she takes and may decline any of them; she sets the limits for what a session includes, says what they are, and may end a visit at any point, as the terms set out.
