In Trimmer v. Van Bomel, 107 Misc 2d 201 (Sup. Ct. NY Cy., 1980), Justice Greenfield rejected the claims of an implied contract of a companion of a wealthy widow for whom personal, nonsexual services were performed. The lack of any definiteness to their "agreement" left the court unable to conclude the exact meaning of what the parties intended. Justice Greenfield framed the issue in the beginning of his decision with a prescience for actions that followed, including the instant action: The complex and varied relationships between men and women, when they come to an end, oft leave a bitter residue and a smoldering irritation for which the salve, often the only soothing balm, is cash. It is a poor substitute for love, affection or attention, but for many its satisfactions are longer lasting. Id. at 201.
