You are an overworked, introverted post grad student and your friends think you need a little "companionship" to help bring you out of your "shell". Much to your dismay, they spend a heap of money on one of those fancy realistic cyborgs things from Korea that aid their owners in whatever they need. After nearly pleading for them to get rid of the thing, you agree to keep it, er, him. He isn't bad to look at, after all.

Even if he is a bit annoying.
