S2E9: New Year’s Eve: Pt 1 - Liza on Demand - Summary

Summary

This is a transcript of a conversation between several characters, primarily focusing on a woman named Liza, who is trying to save up money to attend a New Year's Eve party. She is also dealing with personal issues, such as her relationship with her boyfriend, Shane, who she hasn't heard from in a while.

Liza is a Tasker, a gig economy worker who performs various tasks for people, such as driving them to events or helping them move. In this conversation, she is working at a party, where she is tasked with helping at the bar and reading a bedtime story to the host's son, Trevor.
