Pretty. Awkward.
Plot
32-year-old Maddie Barker is an Uber driver and bartender in Montauk, New York. As she owes property taxes on the home she inherited from her mother, her car is being repossessed, and she faces bankruptcy.
Desperate to keep her home, Maddie responds to an unusual Craigslist posting. Wealthy couple Alison and Laird Becker seek someone to date their 19-year-old son Percy in exchange for a Buick Regal. As he is shy and has no experience with girls, drinking, parties, or sex, his parents hope to boost his confidence and "get him out of his shell" before he attends Princeton University.
Maddie attempts to seduce Percy at the animal shelter where he volunteers. When she offers him a ride home, he thinks she is attempting to kidnap him and maces her. Despite this, she agrees to a date.
