The paper considers the interaction of a heavy probe particle embedded in a three-dimensional bosonic gas of $N$ particles. It is assumed that the strength of the boson-boson interaction in the gas scales as $1/N$ while the mass of the tracer scales as $N$. A mean-field (Hartree-type) equation for the tracer's wave function is derived, which looks like a Gross-Pitaevskii equation with nonlocal cubic nonlinearity. Well-posedness of that equation is rigorously proved.
