At first dressed up as a financial advisor and then, in small steps you make it more comfortable ... Then you move it on the bed during the day, sitting up amongst your 17th century porcelain dolls. After a bit of this and that you sleep with it. And finally you invite the real one to share the temperature exchange. Dad will not even notice. Or, better, he might get the message.
