She spots a poster on the side of a passing bus with Jordan, which sends her imagination off kilter with the <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/michael-b-jordan-lori-harvey-manifestation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">actor<\/a> as the &#8220;beautiful vessel.&#8221; In her fantasies, Jordan takes the place of the smart speaker in the employee&#8217;s home, turning traditionally mundane tasks into seriously sexy activities.<\/p>\n<p>The ensuing scenes are equal parts hilarious and &#8211; dare we say it \u2013 extremely horny. Jordan seductively recites ingredients as the Amazon employee cooks, reads a book to her in a romantic bubble bath, and takes off his shirt as he &#8220;turns down the lights.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CKt0T8Lhf7i\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;
