soft-touch
Sucker for pleas
Soft-touch describes a surface texture that feels smooth, slightly rubbery, and pleasant to handle—a finish common on electronics, tool grips, and product packaging: The phone case has a soft-touch coating.
As a noun, a soft touch is a person easily persuaded or manipulated, especially one who gives money readily: He's a soft touch for anyone with a sad story.
