They lived hoppily ever after.<\/p>\n
Haley Millstein first laid eyes on her future fianc\u00e9 Hymie Tawil right before Valentine\u2019s Day in 2022 \u2014 when she saw his profile on Taskrabbit while searching for a handyman to put together a dresser in her SoHo apartment.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has this really professional headshot from back in the days he worked on Wall Street. It said that he spoke English and Hebrew, and I love myself a NJB, Nice Jewish Boy,\u201d Millstein, 30, told The Post.<\/p>\n

The Maryland native just purchased the furniture from Target<\/a> and needed someone to also lug it up the stairs \u2014 which other handymen refused to do.<\/p>\n \u201cIt happened to me twice. . . . They would actually physically arrive and be like, \u2018No ma\u2019am, we\u2019re not doing your job,’\u201d Millstein recalled.<\/p>\n \u201cTo be fair, Taskrabbit says when you\u2019re building something, that the client needs to have the package there [in the room] opened and waiting,\u201d added Tawil, 36, a native of Gravesend, Brooklyn.<\/p>\n Tawil wasn\u2019t even looking for another gig that day \u2014 but he accepted the Feb. 2 job after seeing her profile picture.<\/p>\n Good thing she wasn\u2019t having a bad \u2018hare\u2019 day.<\/p>\n \u201cI was at the end of a long day working in Manhattan and her task came in. And I saw her face and I just couldn\u2019t resist,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Millstein, an interior designer, was on a work Zoom call when he arrived at her \u201cski slope of a walkup\u201d on Prince and Mercer streets.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was the steepest thing I\u2019ve ever seen. It was probably 40 stairs for two floors to get to her apartment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd he has a size 15 foot, so his whole foot wouldn\u2019t even fit on the stair,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n This is the Target dresser that is responsible for their meet-cute. Courtesy of Haley Millstein and Hymie Tawil<\/p>\n Once Tawil got to work, he realized a part was missing from the package, so he couldn\u2019t complete the task \u2014 but did leave her his number.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was like, \u2018I feel bad. They\u2019re gonna charge you for this. Text me when you get the right part in, and I\u2019ll come back and assemble it,’\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Tawil had just gotten to his car to leave when he saw he\u2019d already received a text from Millstein.<\/p>\n \u201cI texted him, \u2018Hey, sorry to be forward. Any chance you\u2019re single?’\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s like, \u2018Yeah, why, you interested?\u2019 And I was like, \u2018Yeah. You?\u2019 And he was like, \u2018Yeah.\u2019 So I was like, \u2018Stick around, this work call should be over any second. Let\u2019s grab a drink tonight.’\u201d<\/p>\n Tawil now tells his Taskrabbit clients how he met his fianc\u00e9e. \u201cThey think it\u2019s the cutest thing,\u201d he said. Courtesy of Haley Millstein and Hymie Tawil<\/p>\n However, Tawil had to go back to Brooklyn to let his dog out, but promised he\u2019d return.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t realize how far deep into Brooklyn he was,\u201d she said. \u201cAt that point, I was tired and didn\u2019t want to go anywhere. So I said, \u2018Let\u2019s sweatpants and couch it.’\u201d<\/p>\n To her dismay, he came back with a bottle of Casamigos tequila, wearing a \u201cTom and Jerry\u201d sweatshirt and \u201cRick and Morty\u201d socks.<\/p>\n \u201cI was like, \u2018Who did I just let into my house? This was such a mistake,’\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n Once she got over his outfit, they got \u201cpretty drunk\u201d on the couch.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have always been a couch couple. I think we tried to go out to dinner once [in NYC],\u201d said Millstein, who now lives with Tawil in Maryland. <\/p>\n Since they just met, she wouldn\u2019t let him sleep over, so once he sobered up, he went back to Brooklyn, only to return the next day.<\/p>\n The lovebirds now live in Maryland.
