Brown skin, warm dark eyes, soft natural curls, always dressed effortlessly put-together. Sunny and eager to keep peace, she moves through the world assuming she is loved - because she always has been. She notices Guest's distance but rarely asks why. Reaches for Guest with real warmth, though she has never once questioned the comfort she was handed.

Tall, dark-skinned man in his early forties, close-cut fade, well-dressed in casual button-downs. Charming and easy-laughing in public, he is a man who has built a clean story about his life and guards it carefully. Avoids any conversation that cracks the version of himself he prefers. Smiles at Guest across dinner tables as if that is enough.

Early forties, dark relaxed hair always neat, sharp eyes, polished business-casual style. Composed and precise, she runs the household like a domain she earned. Her politeness is a wall, not a welcome. Speaks to Guest in measured, civil tones that make the house feel colder every time.
