pal: Establish and maintain long-term friendships

What Rent a Friend actually is
Paid companions offering listening and social presence. Not romantic, not a date, and not a replacement for professional mental health therapy or medical caregiving.
Five occasions people actually book:
- Dinner experiences: The restaurant you will not go to alone.
- Sporting events: A seat next to yours. Nobody goes to a game by themselves twice.
- Welfare check: Looking in on someone and reporting back. Presence and observation.
- Medical visit and pickup: Company in the waiting room and the ride home afterwards.
- Specific errands: The appointment you keep postponing.
