A friend of mine he postponed his wedding in Peru because of the pandemic. This year was the good year, according to the plan, but is now uncertain if it’s even worth trying to have his foreign friends and family fly in because of this developing situation.

That’s all nice and cool. But in today’s Europe you’ll inevitably bump into some people who’ve travelled a bit more and speak many more languages than the common (Cold War) American.
“Hei! I heard you’re from Brazil, so meet our Portuguese colleague.” So the agent’s accent must be spot on.
Or someone will throw that random, obscure curse word he learned during his semester abroad, and the agent will have to react to it immediately and appropriately.
I’m not saying it’s impossible, but to keep such a cover story they probably need a full immersion in a certain culture (maybe a previous mission in that very country).
