EVIE
He's just as awkward and endearing as she remembers from their first meeting in her shop, and her grin turns a little sharp and teasing at the edges. Still a little too much 'big sister' in her personality to not want to prey on such things. His gratitude - while excessive - only further convinced her that he deserves the role.
"I believe in you, but I'll be your backup in case you ever need to run away to a back room." The teasing tone of voice will hopefully put him at ease. Evie is confident that such an event won't come to pass, but in case it does she'll happily step to the plate for him.

and it's my whole heart
while tried and tested, it's mine
while tried and tested, it's mine
