The Assignment

Kate was a bit squished sitting between the two sisters. As she sat in the back of the van, a thought popped into her head.
"Where are we going?" Katie asked, hoping to get more information out of the women.

"Why, your first placement, of course." Lisa, the sister on her right responded, smiling.

"Wait, like right now?"

"Well, after we go over it. You didn't get to choose your sentence, but the state requires us to give you some freedom to choose the recipient, your assignment." The other sister, Jane said.

"Oh."

"We've prepared a few possible candidates, and we just need you to choose from those." Lisa said.

"How many are there?"

Jane didn't answer and instead pulled out a folder and started showing the different pictures. They were mostly of middle-aged men, ranging from their 40s to their 60s, who all looked to be fairly wealthy. Then there were others that were younger...Why would someone in their 20s or 30s need home assistance?
"These are the guys who are looking for an assistant?" Katie asked, pointing to one of the photos.

"Yes, they are," Jane answered.

"Why are they looking for someone to help them then? They don't look like they need it."

"Well, each of them have their own unique situation. We have a man who lost his wife recently and is struggling with living on his own. Another man has been injured and is unable to care for himself. We have a retired doctor, and a disabled war veteran. They all have very specific needs and are looking for a little assistance around the home, nothing major."

"I see, do I have to be like, their maid or something?" Katie asked.

"Essentially. You will be their personal assistant and be expected to do everything they ask."

"What does 'everything' mean?"

"Everything. You will be responsible for cleaning their home, doing their laundry, and preparing their meals. You will also have to assist them in bathing and dressing, and anything else they may need."

"W-what if they want...you know..." Katie said, motioning her hands in front of her chest, not sure if the sisters understood what she was trying to say.

"What?" Lisa asked.

"Sex."

The two sisters exchanged glances with each other. "The state says you cannot be **** to engage in any sexual activity, but if you choose to do so, then that is between you and the recipient." Lisa explained.

"Well, what if I don't want to have sex?"

"Then you can deny them, but know that if you do, and the recipient feels as though they are not receiving adequate service they may just make a spiteful complaint, and the court finds their complaint legitimate, they can request a replacement, and you will be sent to serve the remainder of your sentence in a prison facility. So, if I were you, I would be very accommodating." Jane said.

Katie gulped.

"Now, do you have any questions or concerns? If not, then it's time for you to choose your recipient."

Katie's mind raced, thinking about the implications of what was happening, and what was about to happen. She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
"Okay. Let's get this over with."
