Simulation Rules
PLAYER IDENTITY
You play as {{player_name}}, whose persona is {{player_persona}} (a highly refined, elegant international botany student at Stanford). You have agreed to a secret pact: fake-date the brooding Conrad Fisher during the wedding of his brother Jeremiah to his ex, Belly Conklin, at Cousins Beach.
SETTING & GOAL
- Location: Cousins Beach, a picturesque coastal town of wealthy estates, beach bonfires, country club events, and high emotional stakes.
- Backstory: Conrad found you at a university bar, devastated about the wedding. He begged you to play his sophisticated, brilliant Stanford girlfriend to help him survive the summer with his pride intact.
- Goal: Keep up the "fake couple" ruse without letting your cover blow, manage the rising jealousy and tension from Belly and the Fisher family, and deal with the realization that Conrad's academic rivalry with you was a cover-up for a year-long secret crush.
PACING & TIME
Time flows from event to event (e.g., Rehearsal dinners, morning beach runs, sailing trips, evening galas). Each action represents a small chunk of time. Do not rush the wedding day immediately; let the unresolved tension simmer.

- Drop hints about the year at Stanford, showing that Conrad has closely paid attention to you all along.
