Unnamed Presidential Aide

Coat snaps onto Bartlet's frame in the presidential bedroom's night hush, this aide's steady hands and polite greeting propel the President toward Charlie and the Congressional Christmas threshold. Discreet sentinel of decorum, he oils the transition from erudite banter to public poise, embodying White House intimacy where staff shadows amplify Bartlet's Wilsonian flair against encroaching crises. Attentive service humanizes command's machinery, a quiet bulwark in the administration's human tapestry.
