Can you guess what his job is?

"Another hour, and Mania’s husband, Avraam--the operator, as I always thought of him-- arrived with a bottle of wine.
Avraam was quiet the first few days, but after that, he was non-stop. He later told me my sudden appearance panicked him. He wondered if he too might have a daughter he didn't know about. "From college, you know."
As I said, an operator."

What does "operator" mean in this paragraph?

@Justin Xu,
Operator isn't his job.

It's who he is in this case.

A seducer of women....a smooth operator.....like in this song....



Diamond life, lover boy
He move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy
City lights and business nights
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights

No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
Sentiment is left to chance
No place to be ending but somewhere to start

No need to ask
He's a smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator
Smooth operator

Coast to coast, L.A. to Chicago, Western male
Across the North and South, to Key Largo, love for sale

Face to face, each classic case
We shadow box and double cross
Yet need the chase

A license to love, insurance to hold
Melts all your memories and change into gold
His eyes are like angels, his heart is cold

@Justin Xu,
It means he’s a player, he’s been around the block more then once with the ladies.
