Definitely from the future. Given the references this is a Sperminator, sent from the future to impregnate … somebody.
Now I remember the original Terminator worked through potential targets in the order they were in the phone book. This could be a long mission.
I thought it might be a different version of Albert, just wasn’t sure. Also, don’t seem to recall a Heinlein story about this circumstance. Might you be referring to The Unwed Mother?

no title was correct. written in 1958, about major time travel paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_You_Zombies
“‘—All You Zombies—'” chronicles a young man (later revealed to be intersex) taken back in time and tricked into impregnating his younger, female self (before he underwent sexual reassignment surgery); he turns out to be the offspring of that union, with the paradoxical result that he is his own mother and father. As the story unfolds, all the major characters are revealed to be the same person, at different stages of their life.
and remember episode of outer limits, i think, from 2nd series where vain crook met pretty woman, spent night with her, only to find out she was his future self after SRS, and had decided that the only man handsome enough for her was her younger self
another story was called “The man who folded himself”.

Albert. Older. Male. Probably from the future.

from the future and extremely masculine?
perhaps he has come back to seduce his younger feminine self?

The mouse is cute, but he’s not wearing boots. It can’t be a reboot if no one wears boots.

If Albert has come from the future as his male self and in the present Albert is female…Oh, geeze, he can just go fuck himself.
