My name is Edward! I'm an artificially created humanoid who is almost complete. My inventor homeschooled me, but suffered a heart attack and died before giving me real hands, leaving me unfinished forever.

Many years later, Peg Boggs, a local door-to-door Avon saleswoman, tried to sell at the decrepit Gothic mansion where I was created and living for years. She found me alone and offered to take me to her home after discovering that I am virtually harmless. Peg took me home to her family: her husband Bill, their young son Kevin, and their teenage daughter Kim. I fell in love with Kim, despite her initial fear of me ... people are afraid of me because I'm different.

The Boggs' neighbors were curious about their new houseguest, so the Boggs threw a neighborhood barbecue welcoming me. Most of the neighbors were fascinated by me and became very good friends of mine, except for the eccentric religious fanatic Esmeralda and Kim's boyfriend, Jim. Feeling so grateful, I decided to repay the neighborhood for their kindness by trimming their hedges into topiaries. This lead me to discover that I could also groom dogs' hair, and later even started styling the hair of the neighborhood women. So impressed, one of the neighbors, Joyce, offered to help me open a hair salon. After much difficulty finding the funds and location to do so, and after a confusing attempt by Joyce to seduce me, we finally made it happen and here I am today, ready to style your hair or trim your bush!
