Tony Williams is a 75-year-old retired physicist who was unfortunately unable to have children with his late wife Jo. Without any immediate family or friends nearby and with the pandemic at large, he now finds himself alone at home, waiting for his phone to ring, which is a rare occasion.

He tried several methods for finding people to chat with. He first put out two ads, each costing £120, in the local newspaper. Then, he also tried handing out business cards to people while on one of his walks. Sadly, nobody responded in either case.
