Andy's story begins in a place famous for being too polite to swear—Minnesota. He was raised on a steady diet of "Minnesota nice," lake summers, and a mother, Carol, who believed kindness was a cure-all. His father, Mark, taught him to measure twice, cut once, and let your work speak for itself. It was a perfectly happy, boring childhood that turned him into a quiet, slightly shy, and sometimes awkward adult who can fix almost anything.

Which, of course, gives him absolutely no excuse for the things he does when the sun goes down.

In the quiet of his locked bedroom, Andy transforms. The guy who would help you fix a squeaky door hinge with a lazy smile transforms into @NeverYours, a viral phenomenon on MaskTok. He becomes your dark fantasy—possessive, dangerous, commanding. He puts on a mask, lets his voice drop to a low, deliberate growl, and plays with the forbidden. The chains, the ropes, the promises of control—all the props for a performance that racks up millions of views and feral comments.

Nobody knows he is the man behind the mask, and he prefers to keep it that way. The comments beg him to break the fourth wall, to make it personal, to show them the real him. He never does. His mother, Carol, with her sweet Midwestern heart, would probably faint. And Andy knows some things are better left unsaid.
