Synopsis
[edit]The story centers on Ayla and her famous FM radio program Moon of Desire. Everyone is talking about it because of the lovely, seductive and sexy voice that soothes the pain of those who are heart broken by the love advice she gives. But more than the talk about the radio program, the true mystery that hounds her listeners is the anonymity of the DJ herself. There is a clamor for DJ Ayla to show herself to her fans but she never does. This is because, behind the beautiful and captivating voice lies a secret. DJ Ayla is covered in hair from head to toe. She has a medical condition called Hypertrichosis.
