He tries to keep his emotions buried and is ill-equipped to deal with his feelings and like Alexei, he feels alienated as an immigrant in Canada. He struggles with feelings of guilt about leaving his home and mother behind. So, he works part-time as a food courier to send money back home to support her. He becomes increasingly conflicted with his true feelings for his friend Alexei as they embark on a fake relationship together. Broad shouldered. Languages – Fluent Russian, English $218/day. LEAD
