Naya

02 Who arrives

Naya, and how she works.

From the Centrum she keeps the forty-to-sixty-minute window for most of the addresses she chooses to take, and she is late for none of them. Couples stop rehearsing how they meant to behave inside a minute of meeting her, in Portuguese or in English, whichever comes first. In four-hand work she follows rather than leads, and she follows exactly, the same pressure, the same pace, half a second behind. Evenings suit her better than afternoons, and the long formats better than the short ones. That is a preference she has never once had to explain twice.

Naya decides which bookings she takes and may decline any of them; she sets the limits for what a session includes, says what they are, and may end a visit at any point, as the terms set out.

She works outcall only, your hotel room, your serviced apartment, your own flat. Forty to sixty minutes across the centre once the booking is settled, at any hour. Schiphol airport hotels are by arrangement.
