Is this a job? Sitting with someone to spend time with them. Having discussions over coffee or tea and cookies. Watching TV shows with them or movies and engaging them in conversation when I make a dessert or some other treat, talking them through the process of what I’m doing.

Just keeping someone company.

I know there’s a job where you get paid to cuddle someone for a half hour or more, but I wouldn’t mind hanging around for a few hours a day with someone who would be very lonely otherwise.

What would that even be called? “Friends Today” or summat?
