JO - A musical book writer who occasionally writes lyrics, has a survival job binding books, huge fan of Peter
PETER - Peter is 37. Peter is a writer, a composer. Peter lives in Brooklyn. Peter lives alone. Peter is bad at taking care of plants. Peter reads. Peter reads a lot. Peter talks very fast. Peter is a son, a younger brother, a New Yorker.
