In the opening episode of Palmer's Daughter For Dessert, we take on the role of "Richard" (the name can be changed), the proud, but moody middle-aged owner of a tasteful, old-fashioned, and (because of all... that) nearly bankrupt diner, called 'Daddy's Cafe', whose general public is limited to the fat, lecherous, but good-hearted Moe Mortelli, a local police detective who, for no particular reason at all, just happens to be addicted to Richard's coffee. Helping Richard out with his business are his own lovely daughter Amanda, and Kathy, Amanda’s student friend who happens to be equally in love with her snobby intellectual and naughty-slutty sides. The story begins when Richard, in the middle of yet another mid-life crisis, accidentally gets access to Kathy’s phone and discovers that his assistant apparently uses it to store not only nude pics of herself (pretty understandable), but, more seriously, certain erotic stories of a rather tabooistic nature. Vividly depicting a forbidden love affair between an imaginary father and daughter, the stories are credited to "KathyKat", leaving little doubt as to who is the author. The discovery, which Richard – out of pure honesty! – cannot keep concealed from Kathy, leads to a rather intimate conversation between the boss and the employee, over which she is revealed as a curious and "experiment-oriented" soul, probably open for suggestions. Nevertheless, Richard, who has apparently spent the past 20 years in a mildly traumatised state after his wife, Lanie, had died after giving birth to Amanda, is not ready to immediately capitalize on this proposition. Instead, he just goes home to nostalgize a bit and maybe experience a wet dream or two... but fantasies begin to get decidedly out of hand when, all of a sudden, his dream memory of Lanie transforms into something that is much more close at hand... his own daughter?
