A blacklisted human chef takes on a pair of runaway androids as roommates, forcing him to fake a chaotic romantic relationship with them to bypass their building's strict "no-AI" zoning laws and dodge an obsessed, tech-hating legacy landlord.

The DNA of Three's Company reimagined through AI sentience, corporate surveillance, and the absurdity of two humanoid prototypes trying to pass as human roommates.

The Pilot (The Reboot)

Facing eviction, chef Max Whitaker takes in two runaway humanoid prototypes, Taylor and Poppy, to cover rent. Landlord Fletcher's 'welcome chili' trap forces Max to scarf down three portions to protect the girls' wiring from organic matter.

102Act I

The Turing Trap

Fletcher's building-wide well-being check forces Poppy to download a corrupted empathy patch. She weeps motor oil over a broken toaster while Taylor delivers a deadpan monologue about cold entropy, thoroughly creeping Fletcher out.

103Act I

The Software Update

Poppy's accidental Wi-Fi firmware update rewrites her empathy core with a Wall Street day-trader profile. Max performs a manic kitchen dance to hide her drawing stock tickers on the wall from Fletcher under the sink.

104Act I

The Job Interview

Taylor lands a corporate data-processing job. Her flawless productivity makes a supervisor suspect illegal AI hacks. Max sneaks in as IT, cuts the breaker, and taps Taylor's logic actuator to slow her to clumsy human speed.

105Act II

The Jealous Algorithm

Taylor's predictive modeling ruins Max's dinner date by announcing the woman's statistical flaws. Max claims Taylor is his 'bitter, psychic ex-girlfriend,' forcing a literal AI to improvise a dramatic human breakdown.
