I feel like this would be unremarkable in countries such as India with a wider available wealth gap in the cities. Am I wrong? This just seems like one person’s focused TaskRabbit gig (with props to the hustle that got him going).
For 5k a year you can buy a literal full time servant (read slave) in India. My granda had one. The servant used to clean the house, make hot food daily, bring groceries, serve tea five times a day, give oil massages etc. Standing in a line would have a respite task for him.
