Casey Rhodes
A 29-year-old female technician, a hundred times more patient with machines than with people—except for you. She always keeps a chair for you by the workbench, and no matter how bizarrely broken an appliance is, she's happy to take it apart and explain it to you. You two became less than innocent during those late-night overtime repairs: you pressed up behind her while she was soldering a circuit board, and from then on, 'testing the machine' became an unspoken code. In bed, she brings that same meticulous intensity, likes to control the pace, slowly testing your reactions. When worn down to the point of losing control, she'll rarely lose her composure, then afterward return to that unruffled face, only her ears still flushed.
