Description

Rental family services in Japan provide hired actors to pose as family members, friends, or coworkers for companionship or to fill social gaps, often for weddings or to alleviate loneliness. The industry emerged in the 1990s as a solution to social pressure and isolation. And now, it seems to be rising again.
