Nadia

Nadia lives in the Jordaan and speaks Russian and English, the second more carefully than the first. At twenty-seven she has a clear sense of what fits into a layover: ninety minutes of tantra on a long connection, something shorter and simpler when the gap is tight. She arrives with oil, towels and no interest in the guest's itinerary beyond its deadline. Her limits are stated before the session and they do not move. The ride toward the airport is agreed with the house ahead of time, including how long it will take. Brunette, calm, sparing with words.

Nadia 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.
