I’m writing a novel about a graduate student who works at a grocery store, and needed some input for a conflict. They are in contact with a former employee whose employment status was terminated due to unknown reasons. The former employee wants the incumbent to repair their broken articles of technology for them, but the incumbent employee doesn’t feel safe going to the former employee’s apartment due to their high levels of social anxiety and fear of unfamiliarity with unknown scenarios or situations. In addition, the incumbent doesn’t want to associate the work with the store to keep all parts of their professional and personal lives separate. Also, the incumbent employee wants to keep reputational collateral to a minimum so that the reputations of both former and incumbent employee are preserved wholeheartedly. Please give objective advice on how to further drive the conflict towards a healthy ending.
