I recently saw a term for this -- "hostage puppy", which I think is an excellent description. I think [1] is the original source for the definition.

Here's a literal "hostage puppy" that was quite the rage in 1973 (though National Lampoon didn't use that phrase): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Lampoon_%28magazine%2...

Oof the US team I work for is beholden to a foreign HQ that runs the hostage puppy play, great term.
