she's only been living in los feliz since late 2020! she's been in la since 2012 though when she moved for college so meeting in 2017ish at a party works for me. i know that was his call me by your name/lady bird era, and she released her first album that year, so i can see it being like this new time for them that they could've bonded over? and now they're freakishly close neighbors inviting themselves over and like, guarding each other's packages while the other's away. he probably has an assistant for that and she just hired one recently, but still.
