Is there a polite term for full service sex workers that’s shorter and more generally understood?

This is something I struggle with all the time, mainly because I’ve become somewhat uncomfortable referring to myself as an escort due to the classist connotations. I just end up saying “whore,” but of course I can only feel responsible saying that around other whores or at least non-whores who are smart enough to know not to repeat it.

Is “hooker” a slur, it definitely feels slangy, but not as insulting as “wh*re” (I’m not full service so I’m not sure how I feel about using that one).  I’m writing a mystery story about sex workers solving a murder and untangling a web of police corruption and evil SWERFs.
