Stepping into a world shrouded in aesthetics built out of Hollywood films and Lana Del Rey lyrics, presented as a way to make a quick buck from scamming gullible old men, it’s easy to be blinded to reality. “You can feel a false sense of power when you’re getting money, but so often the daddies think they own you. They see you as a product they’ve bought and can do anything they want with,” Eve said.
