Occasional Wife background

Occasional Wife

A young professional asks a female acquaintance to impersonate their spouse, enabling them to advance within their organization.

Peter, a junior executive at a New York business, notices that single men are often overlooked in favor of married employees by top executives who believe they are more stable. To address this issue, Peter approaches his friend and upstairs neighbor, Greta, asking her to pose as his wife for company functions. Unaware of how it would affect her personal life, Greta agrees. Whenever a business associate unexpectedly visited "their" apartment, Peter would quickly climb the fire escape to fetch Greta, often causing laughter among their neighbors in between.
