Description: Ben Whittaker, a seventy-year-old widower and retired executive, finds retirement monotonous and decides to apply for a senior intern position at About The Fit, a rapidly growing e-commerce fashion startup in Brooklyn. The company’s founder and CEO, Jules Ostin, has initiated a program to involve seniors in the workplace. Ben’s charm and professionalism earn him a spot among the four selected interns.
Initially skeptical of Ben, Jules gradually warms up to him as he proves his worth by assisting colleagues and improving the work environment. Ben’s dedication is evident when he arrives early to organize Jules’ cluttered desk and steps in to drive her home after noticing her chauffeur’s irresponsible behavior. Over time, Ben and Jules develop a strong bond, and he becomes a trusted confidant, offering guidance on both personal and professional matters.
Ben also shares his past experiences, revealing he once worked in the same building where About The Fit is now located. Along the way, he forms a romantic connection with Fiona, the company’s massage therapist, and becomes a mentor to younger employees, helping them navigate challenges in their careers and personal lives.
The story highlights the value of intergenerational relationships and the positive impact of experience and wisdom in a fast-paced, modern workplace.
