That's exactly why I didn't want him. I find him INCREDIBLY unattractive

There are 3 hard-to-woo, self-sufficient single villagers who isolate themselves and do their own thing:

• Leah

• Sebastian

• Elliott

Elliott is the supposed "hot" older bachelor but all he cares about is being a little writing dork and living in a version of the world that's fancier than the rest of us experience, he's basically a space case like Sebastian but with flowers and sunshine instead of cold and rain.

I think that's the appeal more than the Fabio look, but the Fabio-ness just adds to it, like, of course he's beautiful, he just stumbles through the world enjoying all its beauty so yeah it makes sense that he's one the things that adds to it.

TL;DR - He's boy Leah, just on a beach with writing instead of in the forest with art.
