Two people who exchange constant communication via text and social media but never see each other in real life. Similar to the penpals back in the day who would write and send letters in the mail to each other from different countries yet never meet.

Cassidy: nah sis, he just wanna be a modern day pen pal. Never want to come out my messages and step into real life
