Cart Before the Heart

Jodi Chow, 2025

Bennett Harrington III has it all—wealth, charm, and a lifestyle filled with extravagant pleasures. The heir to a massive fortune, Bennett spends his days drifting between luxurious parties, exclusive clubs, and international getaways. But his father sees danger ahead for his son. Determined to teach Bennett a lesson about responsibility, empathy, and the value of hard work, he forces him to work for his online shopping company, Fetch. Reluctantly, Bennett agrees. With little interest in traditional charity or typical business ventures, he dreams up an idea that combines his love for luxury with a quirky philanthropic twist: a secret shopper business unlike any other. The catch? Bennett secretly monitors his wealthy neighbors' Fetch wishlists and, without them knowing, buys the items in their carts. He believes he's doing them a favor by fulfilling their material desires, injecting a bit of mystery and joy into their lives—though his method is far from conventional. Along the way, Bennett begins observing the shopping habits of the rich and the poor, using his company's advanced analytics tools to see how people use Fetch for better or worse. Bennett is struck by the stark contrast: some wealthy customers hoard luxury items they never use, while others donate necessities to shelters. Meanwhile, struggling families stretch their budgets to buy essentials. He becomes obsessed with understanding the moral weight of consumer choices and realizes his fortune could be a force for good. Soon, word spreads through the affluent neighborhood about the "Fetch Angel" who mysteriously purchases their coveted items. Some find it bizarre—why are their wish lists magically empty, yet their front steps mysteriously piled high with deliveries? Rumors swirl about the cause: an eccentric millionaire, a tech glitch, or even a modern-day Robin Hood for the elite. As father and son dive deeper into their Robin Hood mission, they encounter ethical dilemmas, like whether it's right to interfere with people's personal choices or exploit Bennett's access to private data. Through their journey, the Harrington's inspire others to rethink their consumer habits, creating a movement of mindful shopping and generosity. But as their actions draw attention, Bennett must decide whether to step into the spotlight and risk everything or keep his alter ego in the shadows, forever remaining a modern-day Robin Hood.
