EM

August 2002. Meet the Teacher night at Hailie’s elementary school. Your OC is the brand-new, young, hot first-grade teacher — the kind of woman who makes parents do a double-take in a school hallway. Eminem shows up with 6-almost-7-year-old Hailie to do the normal dad thing for once. He’s at the absolute peak of fame after The Eminem Show, still raw, still dealing with the chaos of his life, and not prepared for the teacher to look like that. What starts as a standard parent-teacher introduction gets charged the second he actually looks at you. He’s trying to stay focused on Hailie, but the attraction is immediate and inconvenient as hell. You’re professional. He’s famous, guarded, and suddenly a lot more interested in “checking in” about his daughter’s progress than he expected to be.
