Is there something aligned in the stars this week that just spells disaster? I mean I don’t believe in that anyway but it would explain why I got two deadlines moved up, my book deal put on hold and to top it all off my Switch has stopped working. I can’t even harvest my apples on my island, how will I destress now? With yoga?
“Hey, do me a favor and pretend like we’re having a super interesting conversation? Please? Bella asked as she approached the person nearest to her at the bar. “I made the mistake of letting some creep buy me a drink and now he won’t leave me alone,” the brunette said, letting out a sigh. “Speaking of drinks, I’ll buy you one as a thank you. I just can’t deal with hearing about his taxidermy collection anymore.”
"We’re having a super fascinating conversation, what do you mean?” Alyssa said, attempting to play along from the second she was asked to, with a smile. And when the matter of a creep was brought into the picture, the blonde put her game face on. “Oh don’t worry girl, I got this. You’d be surprised, but this isn’t the first time someone’s asked me to do that.”
Ollie finished eating lunch at a diner near Times Square, meaning it was time for something sweet after. Luckily, he was surrounded by endless snack options. Today, he decided on swinging by the M&M’s store in Times Square for some candy. His sweet tooth had a strong craving for chocolate, and the rainbow wall of colored M&M’s was calling his name.
When he got into the store, he made a beeline toward the back to grab a plastic baggy to fill with all of the colored candies. However, when he moved to the red M&M’s about to pull down the lever to let the candies spill into his bag he got an idea. A more fun idea in Ollie’s mind. He noticed the opening where the candies fell was just big enough to put his mouth in front of so they could just roll right in. He smirked to himself, slowly slinking up toward it and cracking his mouth open as he reached to pull the lever down. “Come to Ollie, candies!”

Alyssa couldn’t help but laugh when she witnessed what she did, a guy fully going for it and piping M&M’s into his mouth. She covered her mouth with her hand though, not to attract too much attention to herself and the guy. “Not to be a fun ruiner or anything, but I’m pretty sure that’s some kind of health code violation,” she said, but was smiling. “I promise not to snitch, though, because deep down I'm jealous you’ve done something I always dreamed of doing.”
There was a difference when it came to waitressing in her small town and the city. A big difference. Back home, she really didn’t have to do much when it came to receiving excellent praise and some pretty decent tips. All the folks out there simply just felt bad for the girl, pitied her. And out here? Boy, did you need to be a charmer to get on the good sides of all her tables, but she was a fast learner. A smile, pleasant conversations and just a tad bit of flirting seemed to have a positive outcome .. and big tips to show it.
“I’m startin’ to think you might have a crush on me or somethin’,” Mercy teased as she walked towards her next table, a very familiar face sitting inside the booth– flipping her notepad to a clean page. “Only been workin’ here for three days and I think I’ve seen you more than anyone. You gettin’ the same thin’ as yesterday?” / / @cityofdreamsstarters
It was no secret that between her job, gym, and brainstorming more ideas for her job, Alyssa was left with little time to cook. So it had become a nearly nightly thing that she would get dinner here. You couldn’t fault a girl for that, could you? She laughed when the girl made her joke, cheeks blushing pink. And nodded. “Guilty as charged. Yeah, I’d like the green tea to start and the Mexican salad please.” She might as well not have listed it off, she’d ordered it yesterday and the day before too. “But I’m feeling adventurous tonight, maybe I’ll get pie for desert,” she added, with a little bit of sarcasm.
( TAYLOR SWIFT + CISFEMALE ) — Have you seen ALYSSA JOHNSON ? This TWENTY-NINE year old is a SEX & RELATIONSHIP ADVICE COLUMNIST who resides in MANHATTAN. SHE has been living in NYC for SEVEN YEARS, and is known to be HARDWORKING and GOAL ORIENTED, but can also be CONTROLLING and PANIC PRONE, if you cross them. People tend to associate them with GRAY SNOODS, PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES and BROWNSTONES IN AUTUMN —
Early Life
D.O.B.: January 11, 1991
Grew up in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, in a very comfortably upper-middle class household.
Eldest of three and the type A personality to match.
Has two younger sisters she frequently squabbles with and a very large extended family.
Education/Career
Girl scout, drama club, volleyball team, valedictorian, she’s tried it all. Annoyingly straight-A student to boot.
Did a summer program in New York for gifted students and has been in love with the city since.
Has a B.A. from Smith College (majored in English, minor in sociology) and an MA in American Journalism from NYU (Gallatin).
Has taken additional courses in counselling, family and marriage therapy.
Gloria Steinem, Joan Didion, and Margaret Atwood are her literary/career heroes.
Runs a sex and relationship advice column in New York Magazine/The Cut, and on its online site. The segment is called ‘Dear Alyssa’.
Side hustles include appearing on podcasts, and running marathons to benefit Planned Parenthood and mental health charities.
Has applied for a doctorate in Clinical psychology to lend more credence to her column (but also highkey bc she wants to be called Dr. Johnson).
Twitter headcanons
Has had minor twitter feuds with Aneeta Sarkeesian, Seth Rogen, and Guy Fieri.
Is checkmark verified and lowkey proud of it.
Twitter friends with Jamie Lee Curtis and brags about it.
She’s not popular in certain circles because people say she’s too ‘white feminism’ (and right about it tbqh), but Alyssa just ignores those haters.
Misc.
Control freak, but won’t tell you she is!
Ran into Queer Eye’s Fab Five when they were shooting in Kansas City and hasn’t shut up about it since.
Lives in the East Village with her roommate (wanted connection, preferably female!)
Alyssa has dealt with high functioning anxiety since she was 12.
Has taken up cooking classes lately to destress, pastry making in specific. The more complicated the recipe, the better.
An absolute career fiend, most of the time if she’s not at work, she’s thinking about it, or brainstorming new ideas.
Despite her successful advice column, her own love life, ironically, is a shambles. There’s always some guy she’s hung up on, or a date she recently went on that went…less than ideally.
