Steady with the Yeti

By Mia Fox

Anna is one of the premiere anthropologists in the country, now working for MedSecs, a biotech firm that is leading the race to solve male infertility. Their secret weapon...a captured yeti.

Seeing this magnificent creature taken from its natural habitat breaks Anna’s heart and she is reticent to oblige the demands of her firm. But Anna’s boss, David, has given her an ultimatum...retrieve the yeti’s sperm for science or she’ll be denied her research grant.

As Anna gets up close and personal with the yeti, she makes a most surprising discovery. She doesn’t want the world to get the yeti’s seed; she wants it all for herself. Anna must figure out a way to pay off her debts while being true to the yeti she wants to protect. When David offers an unthinkable solution...spend her days with him so she can enjoy her nights with the yeti, she realizes what she really desires is to go steady with the yeti.

The trustees of the biotech company I worked for were getting impatient. Their industry spies had reason to believe that a competing company was in the race to develop an infertility drug similar to the one we were trying to manufacturer. Whoever was able to complete trials first would have the best chance of selling it to the big pharmaceutical companies that kept this a billion dollar industry.

You can imagine how important it was to a male dominated firm to be the one on the market known for producing the best ‘swimmers.’ Developing this drug wasn’t just a matter of business, it was personal, it was ego, and I was the lone female in the midst of it.

As an anthropologist employed by MedSecs, they relied on me to test the waters with consumers and see if they were in favor of the drugs, how they reacted to the concepts behind them and most importantly, if I believed there would be any negative backlash among consumers.

I was working on a focus group study on how to improve the mental well-being of women who experience sexual dysfunction. Shame on me for being so surprised that the guys in charge deemed this a secondary tier item in level of importance. I was yanked out of my project and my boss insisted I join Project Yeti, our internal name for the sperm source of our miracle drug.

Accepting this transfer within the company wasn’t something that I had readily agreed to. I was much more interested in helping women with their sexual well-being, something I was deeply passionate about since I had been cursed with a bad sex life myself and a man with too many issues to count. Unfortunately, that man also happened to be my boss and the one who insisted I change projects.
