What are some creative ways for a GM to deal with narrative for when players are not able to attend a session? (kbin.social)

Hey all, my friend is starting a new game. We have some newbies joining and their attendance maybe hit and miss, with work schedules and life. What are some creative ways your groups have managed missing players outside of someone paying for them one session?

I tried being creative a lot but I have since found that the lost elegant approach is 'they are here, our camera just doesn't focus on them today. Yes, they are there, on the sideline fighting their own monster. Oh no they are 100% with you, maybe you guys even talk, but that scene just isn't in today's episode'
