Creative Outsourcing

I saw a cleaning lady flyer posted on the bulletin board at work. It said:
Is your life really hectic? Is it hard to find time to keep up with daily chores? I CAN HELP. I do deep cleaning, organizing, and even your laundry if you like. Call Krissy for a free quote.
OK, I do have a hectic life, but I don’t mind cleaning my house (despite my parents best efforts to raise me as a slob), and frankly the thought of paying someone else to clean my bathrooms makes me uncomfortable.
So I’m wondering if maybe I can hire Krissy to do some of my socializing so that I can clean my house. I can picture it now - a friend will invite me to coffee or dinner, and I’ll say, sorry, I’m booked, but will you take Krissy in my place? Or maybe I’ll just send Krissy and see if the friend even notices.

I think there’s a market for this! I have a few clingy friends who I would rather not have to listen to prattle on about every detail of their lives. I could make Krissy answer the phone and lend them her ear, so I don’t have to.
