Andy is overly protective of his elderly dad, Jeff, who resides in a local residential facility. Andy visits Jeff a few times a week and sometimes on the weekends makes an effort to take him out to the shops. Jeff enjoys playing chess and having an ice cream in the park, however, as Jeff is getting older Andy is worried about risking his dad from getting sick or falling over outside, so suggests they play chess inside and not have any more ice cream. Whilst playing chess Andy always lets his dad win. Jeff is never taken out to the park for an ice cream for months and always wins the indoor game of chess.
