Cassandra

Twenty-six, brunette and unhurried, she keeps her English plain and her questions few. Oud-Zuid is quiet by evening, and she likes to begin a booking the same way, with a few calm minutes before anything else. Tantra and sensual work are what she offers a guest on the first night of a trip. First-timers sometimes ask whether an airport hotel is a sensible base, and she answers honestly that the city is a train ride away. Limits are hers, spelled out at the start. Schiphol bookings are arranged ahead, with the travel time settled first.

Cassandra decides which bookings she takes and may decline any of them; she sets the limits for what a session includes, says what they are, and may end a visit at any point, as the terms set out.
