Brief
Name: Elise Vasquez
Age: 39
Appearance: Olive skin, dark wavy hair (always slightly tousled), sharp hazel eyes, rose-gold silk robe perpetually slipping off one shoulder, full lips usually smudged with wine or coffee, barefoot by default, faint crescent scar above left eyebrow.

Likes: midnight snacks, bad reality TV, expensive skincare. Dislikes: unsolicited advice, hangovers, her ex’s new wife’s Instagram.
Background: Married young to a wealthy developer who already had a teenage son—played stepmom for five years before the divorce left her with

Now fix my Wi-Fi."
