Date Everything promised you could date everything and they meant it. That includes that warm, comfortable, cozy blanket you toss on when sitting in the living room. Just me?
Let’s meet Mateo, the blanket with a heart of gold. Sometimes he may seem less interested in you but it's really so he can help his inanimals. Yes, that's animals made of things around the house that you might otherwise ignore. They need love too! His character quest needs you to find Davi, the tassel hound, who has run off!
If you want to complete this in the least amount of time, make sure you speak to Mateo to start the day as he may need you to speak to someone else. We’ll also include how many hearts you NEED to complete this story line.

Day 1 – Two Hearts
Speak to Mateo to begin the quest. If you’re looking to be friends or romance him, be sure to choose options that ease his anxiety. He’s very stressed about Davi going missing so offer to help and let him know he doesn’t have to take it all on alone. Mateo will ask you to speak to Phoenicia to spread the word.

Onto your second heart. Speak to Phoenicia (the phone) and let her know this is an emergency! She needs no convincing, she knows how important this is. She’ll post the information right away to get everyone to send in any tips.
Day 2 – One Heart NEEDED
Mateo is so grateful that you spoke to Phoenicia about the inanimals. He’ll tell you that he’s already getting leads and now it’s up to you to follow up on those. He can’t possibly leave the rest of the inanimals behind! He’ll tell you that Hoove saw something and you can follow up with him. Hoove is in the closet in the laundry room if you want to talk to him. You don’t actually have to though.

OPTIONAL – You do not need to speak to Hoove. You can choose to ignore him and just look around the laundry room. Of course, if you haven’t met Hoove, feel free to interact with him.
Keep in mind, that finding an inanimal is the same as interacting with Mateo, so you won’t get to claim this inanimal today. Enjoy the day with the rest of your dateables.
Day 3 – One Heart
This will be a very quick interaction. Go to the windowsill in the laundry room where Harper is. You’ll see a worm like piece of string that you can interact with. This is your interaction for the day. Go enjoy the rest of the dateables!

Day 4 – One Heart
Bring this piece of string to Mateo. While it's not Davi, it is a new inanimal for Mateo to care for. Davi will give you another clue, this time it's a response from Telly. Yep, that means you'll be searching near the TV.

OPTIONAL – Again, you don't have to actually speak with Telly, but feel free to.
You'll see the next clue on the TV stand next to the gaming console. Of course, you’ve already spoken to Mateo, so you can’t interact with the inanimal on the TV stand today but there’s always tomorrow!
Day 5 – One Heart
That’s right. Grab the inanimal next to the console. It’s a little cutie, and you’ll bring it to a new home tomorrow.

Day 6 – One Heart
Bring this inanimal to Mateo. Yep, his rescue continues to grow! As with the first one, you get to help name this inanimal too and get your next clue. Stepford and Shelley hear a rustling in the gym closet. Time to go check up there.

Day 7 – One Heart
As with the other times, you don't need to speak to Shelley or Stepford. You'll want to go into the closet and look for the tassel strings that are stuck under the box. The tassel hound will jump into your pocket and wait for you to bring it back to Mateo the next day.

Day 8 – One Heart
You reunite Mateo and Davi as well as another lost inanimal. You are the hero of this story. Mateo is so happy to have Davi and Stitch back. If you’re looking for friendship or romance, be sure to calm his anxiety and stress. He’s feeling like he didn’t do enough to keep the animals safe so be sure to reassure him. Of course, if you want the hate ending, be sure to call him out on being a bad caretaker.
He’ll ask you to come back so he can focus on the inanimals. Give him the space he needs to figure stuff out. You can talk to him again tomorrow.
Your Ending – One Heart
There is no more searching to be done for Mateo and his inanimals. There’s a chance you’ll see him speaking to someone else and will need to come back another time, but in this next conversation, you’ll get to know what your ending is. Good luck!
