Jella was exhausted. For the last week, she'd been clocking 14 hours of nonstop dick pics from strangers. She had 10 hours to rest and collect herself before it started all over again. She felt hopeless and deeply depressed. She stepped into the cramped room she shared with seven other roommates and headed to her sad little bunk bed.

She'd hung up a small towel as a makeshift curtain of sorts to try to give herself a little bit of privacy and dignity. Jella looked down at her phone and a flash of anger came over her. It was Charlie. What the hell did she want?

She couldn't believe what she was reading. Don't forget to tell me what concerns you have. This was rich. Jella was sitting in Myanmar, her passport confiscated, unable to leave, being forced to sextort strangers around the world.

And Charlie, the woman who sent her here, the woman who had talked her across that bridge, wanted to know if she had any concerns?

Charlie had sworn up and down that Jella wasn't going to Myanmar, that this job was legit, that this place was safe. How bold of this woman to act like she cared about Jella's concerns after lying to her face. What game was she playing here? I feel so angry. I did not respond. Jella left her on read. She did not, and would not, trust Charlie again. I was lied to.

This woman had ruined her life knowingly. But Jella was not going to let Charlie and her recruiters win. She would find a way to get herself out. A week later, Jella finally had a day off. She pulled the little makeshift curtain on her bunk bed closed. This was the closest to alone time she was going to get. Then she pulled out her phone and texted her big sister.

They had all been supportive of her when she told them about this job. She had been so happy. A job in Thailand? It was in my bucket list. After quitting her last job, Jella had started a travel vlog, posting about little day trips and hikes she did around the Philippines. She'd been surprised to see the view counts on her videos climb.

so she thought it would be great to work abroad so she could both earn some money and explore new places for her vlog. She had a whole list of things she wanted to do in Thailand.

A Bangkok restaurant where buff men wearing skimpy dresses body rolled off customers while they ate. And then pataya and then where there is an elephant. But there would be no elephants or macho dancing waiters. She was stuck in a claustrophobic room with seven other drained roommates, barely even allowed to leave her building.

In the short updates she sent her family, she'd been trying to keep up the act that everything was going according to plan. Things were just really busy with her new customer service role. I just want them to think that I'm in good conditions. But as she lay in her bunk bed talking with her oldest sister, she was finding it increasingly hard to lie. Her sister was 15 years older.

They were very close. At home, she'd always told her sister everything. And then, Jella's sister brought up their father. And then she said, At the mention of her father, tears welled up in Jella's eyes. She hadn't wanted to tell him the truth because he had high blood pressure. She was worried how he would react. But she really missed him.
