Big Daddy was the owner of the Cosmos Bar im SP Cowboy, in Bangkok Thailand. Big Daddy was a semi-retired professional spook who worked for the agency for many years and was a specialist in wet work, for most of his career, he lived in the shadow worlds, no one knew his real name, and he had no real friends.

He still occasionally did contract work for the agency but most of the time he just ran his bar. He was a big dude, 6 foot 8 inches 250 pounds of pure muscle. He had been a professional ball player before joining the agency. He spoke 11 languages fluently, all due to a concussion suffered during his last game with the Dallas Cowboys. He woke up speaking Korean, Chinese, and Spanish, none of which he knew before the operation. His exceptional language skills brought him to the notice of the agency recruiters.

He was forced to retire after one of his operations went bad and got public notice. The agency officially disavowed themselves of Big Daddy’s employment and set him up in Bangkok where he did occasional jobs for them.

the bar was open late and was a very popular spot he was proud that he thought they had the best-looking women the best booze, the best music system, and the best food in all of Thailand

one day his girlfriend Maria Lee came to the bar, and she was determined to try to make banana bread. She was a drop-dead Korean lady who had embezzled money from her ex-husband, one of the Chaebol princesses.

He had helped her launder the money, in return, she spent the night, and they became an item. Sparks flew from heart to heart when they met. It was Big Daddy’s almost fatal attraction.

Before marriage, she had been a movie star. She was proud of her cooking skills. but Big Danny was skeptical of her cooking skills and told her you're never gonna make banana bread you just can't do it

so,

it was a challenge she tried and after several attempts, her banana bread was decent enough that Big Daddy decided to feature it as an item on the ever-eclectic bar menu

Her banana bread became famous. and she had added some special ingredients that made the banana bread special- she made it with Whiskey. She was proud of her banana bread.

Big Daddy tried the bread and fell in love with her. He proposed while eating the bread and she accepted, smiling as she knew her mojo was working on him. This would be his first marriage, as his line of work did not provide many opportunities to have a real long-term relationship as one was always on the move, and one was always playing a role.
