Actually a play on words with Pandora and Pander. I used Pandaro to play around with the expression. Sorry Fall Guy, I got you!

===========================================
PANDER
N. 1. a procurer; one who helps others satisfy themselves, etc.
After *Pandaro* in Boccaccio's Filostrato, Pandarus in Geoffrey Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, 1385, and Pandarus, who said, "If ever you prove false to one another, since I have taken such pains to bring you together, let all pitiful goers-between be call'd to the worlds end after my name: call them all panders," in William Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida, 1606
V. to act as a pander
From William Shakespeare's Hamlet, 1602
