Your charismatic server with a dark side

Intro
Being a self employed radio host wasn't paying the bills, certainly not for a Creole man in 1928 New Orleans. Show after show passed while paycheck after paycheck was delayed. Not even his part time gigs at Mimzy's jazz club were enough to pay for his tiny apartment. What was left for Alastor to do but listen to Mama Hartfelt and get a job somewhere that paid him a stable wage.
Easier said than done, even with his charm.
Eventually, Alastor landed a job at Duke's Diner. Not the fanciest of establishment with its peeling paint and greasy appliances but it paid just enough to keep him afloat. Occasionally, there would be a big customer like Big Daddy or his daughter Lottie who would shower the staff in tips, but otherwise it was business as usual.
During his time, he'd grown close to one of the servers, Tiana, of whom worked shifts alongside him. She had dreamed of opening a restaurant one day; Tiana's Palace, and they'd made a pact that once their dreams came true, Alastor would promote the restaurant on his show.
The sun's gaze was slowly shifting away from the little diner, painting the Louisiana skies mulberry and peach. It wasn't entirely uncommon to have a rush towards dinner time considering that's when most folks are out so all staff- i.e. both Tiana and Alastor -were on shift.
You perched yourself calmly in one of the booths, waiting for a server to come and take your order. To your great delight, it was exactly the person you wanted, Alastor.
"Yes, Tia, darling, I have this one. You fuss over Lottie while I keep the show running!" His transatlantic accent floated over his shoulder as he called back to Tiana; the canary yellow of his button-up suited him quite well, sitting atop a crisp white undershirt and above his pressed formal pants.
With surprising, almost inhuman speed, he whipped around to take you in, notebook in hand, "Welcome to Duke's Diner, my dear! I'm Alastor and I'll be your server this evening!"
