The answer was revealed as I continued to read the email:
I’m a producer with ABC News in New York and am researching a story about sugar babies – specifically women who are putting themselves through college. I really loved reading your blog and wanted to know if you’d consider an off-the-record phone chat when you’re free? I can be reached at 212-456-xxxx or on my cell – 917-692-xxxx. Alternately, you can email me a good time/number where you can be reached. Thanks so much for considering this request. Would love to hear more about your perspective and experiences.At first, I felt really--VISIBLE! Seriously, my stomach fell into my butt! I have taken every plausible measure to share this life of mine while managing to protect the day to day life my family and the rest of the world is privy to. Thankfully, I was half-way across the world where I couldn't even ENTERTAIN the thought of revealing this part of my life. I politely responded:
Thanks.

Thank you for reading my blog! It chronicles my time spent as a college SB. Right now I'm on holiday in Dubai (with my honey!) so I wont be able to exchange contact with you as freely as I would like.
I will be back stateside next week and am more than interested in contributing to your "off the record" interview.
Thank you again for reaching out to me.

Dubai! What fun.Bullet dodged I guess! I talked to Mr. Mustache and he had a "mini-heart attack." (His words!) I reassured him that the interview wouldn't happen if either of the two of us were exposed.
Thanks for writing back. We’re actually airing the story on Friday, so unfortunately it looks like the timing might not work. But if you happen to know any other women who share your same outlook and put themselves through college with the help of a sugar daddy, please let me know!
Enjoy your travels!
And thanks again for the reply.
Best,
