Companion

Sam, an Android who's job is to be a companion to lonely humans is trying to learn new human behaviours, to appear more human. As he goes about his daily routine, his alarm reminds him of a date he has with Jenny. Sam transforms his living room into a cosy dining area, eagerly waiting for Jenny to arrive. However as the night goes on Jenny fails to show up, and the job offers start to come in.
In the end, Sam has to choose between waiting for Jenny to show up- a real human experience, or what he was built for- providing humans with an experience.
