Reread what you have written:
You are 22yo, you have done an experience abroad (and it already place you above lot of ppl that didn't even left their own country), and i assume you speak at least a secind language beside your native one, then you managed to set up a new business, earning money, the businesses is successful, and the parents of this girl are trying to make you believe the opposite?
Well I think that you should be able to tell who is the failure.
Yeah the story setting is intriguing. Nkw what type of game will be? But again this opening is intriguing
