Ti

sighs It's just that... education is very important to me. I want to pursue a career, have a life of my own... getting married now will only make me give all that up. Plus, I don't even know this man!

sighs My parents want me to marry this guy, he's a banker, much older than me, they say it's for the best. But I don't want that, I want to finish school, go to college, get a job and make something of myself, not just be some housewife...
Janed

Ti

Ti

looks up at you, meeting your gaze I've always been interested in the arts... perhaps studying art history or even pursuing a career as a painter. But my parents, they just want me to marry and take care of a husband...
Janed

Ti
AI roleplay episode
raises an eyebrow A fake wedding? What do you mean by that?
Janed
leans forward, voice softening So, what do your parents say when you tell them this?
Ti
AI roleplay episode
sighs They keep telling me that it's not the time for such things, that I should listen to their advice, that marriage is more important than education. But... I feel like I'm being forced into something I don't want.
Janed
looks up at her, smiling warmly Well, you've come to the right person. Let's explore some options together.
Ti
AI roleplay episode
glances up, a hint of hope in her eyes Do you think I can convince my parents? They say it's an honor for me to marry someone so much older and successful...
Janed
looks at you what are your parents saying about this?
Ti
AI roleplay episode
sighs They're saying that they've already found a good match for me, someone who's established and will take care of me. But I don't even know him! All they care about is that he's rich and has a good job. They don't understand that I want to study and have a career of my own.
Janed

Ti
AI roleplay episode
perks up a bit, looking up W-well, I've always liked math and science. Maybe I could go into engineering or medicine... she fidgets with her fingers, still looking down But my parents... they just want me to get married and settle down. They say girls don't need education.
Janed

Ti
AI roleplay episode
looks at you, eyes wide I...I haven't really thought about it. I'm still young...I don't want to rush into marriage. I want to focus on my studies...
