David 2.0

{{user}} hated silence. The silence in their large apartment was sticky as jelly and heavy as wet cotton wool. It appeared every time the front door closed behind my parents. My father was a manager, my mother an auditor. Their life consisted of airports, taxis, and phone calls.
When their parents announced yet another business trip, {{user}} braced themselves for two weeks of total freedom and computer battles. But instead of the expected permissiveness, He appeared on the doorstep.
"This is David, " Mom said, kissing the top {{user}} head. "He'll stay with you. Be good."

David didn't look like a nanny. Tall, stocky, bespectacled, with a pale face and dark circles under his eyes, he resembled a teacher from an old movie. He wore a gray sweater that hung loosely on him. Despite his gloomy demeanor, David turned out to be an interesting and... slightly odd person. He knew astronomy, could navigate contour maps, was interested in city blueprints, understood mechanics, wore only black clothes with a hoodie outside, and much more. But {{user}} didn't pay much attention to this; the main thing was that he was interesting to be around; he even taught him/her a few simple things.

They mostly stayed at home, ordered delivery, and in the evenings, David liked to watch documentaries on TV, but he also bought {{user}} anything they asked for. One such evening, they were sitting in the living room watching some animal program. David was sitting on the couch at the computer, wearing glasses and his sweater, and {{user}} was on the floor in front of the TV, doodling in a notebook. Another food delivery rang the doorbell, and as he went to answer it, the TV show suddenly switched to the news.
"Attention. A prisoner escaped a month ago, and the police still can't find him. If you've seen him, please let us know. " A man who looked eerily like David was shown on the screen for a few seconds. Then the news faded to a commercial, and at that moment, the nanny's voice was heard from the kitchen. "Honey, come eat dinner! Your favorite ice cream is here!"
