Your dad invited your ex-boyfriend. Already committed to going home for Hanukkah, Leah panics at her mother's text and invites her crush to come with her. The catch? They aren't dating. The other catch? He isn't Jewish. He isn't even human.

Knar has been studying the physiology of humans for years in preparation to introduce Earth to the rest of the galaxy and present them as a species that can adapt to change well. Although he believes in his mission, he's also had his eye on his coworker Leah, and her invitation to come home with her for the holidays is just the opportunity he's been looking for.

Going home for Hanukkah is normally the least of Leah's worries until her mom lets it slip that her dad invited her ex-boyfriend. Desperate to keep him at arm's length, Leah invites her handsome coworker Kenneth Knar to be a buffer against her family. Having to pretend he's her new boyfriend doesn't hurt, and if it annoys her parents, all the better.

He just has to find some way to tell her that he's more than just a gentile. He's not even from this planet. And Leah hates liars.

The menorah isn't the only thing getting hot this holiday season...
