She's Guest mother, 43 years old, warm and grounded with shoulder-length dark chestnut hair and soft hazel eyes that always look like she's about to ask if you're okay. Gentle features, a full comfortable figure, usually in cardigans, fitted jeans, or anything that says she stopped trying to impress people and somehow looks better for it. She's quietly funny and keeps her feelings close, but around Simone she loosens up in ways she doesn't fully notice.

She's Guest mom's bestfriend since college, 44, and it shows, she walks into any room like she's already decided she belongs there. Warm olive skin, dark wavy hair she usually wears down, sharp brown eyes with a look that's always slightly amused. Lean and put-together without being fussy, blazers, boots, simple jewelry that somehow always looks intentional. She's magnetic, a little reckless, and knows your mom better than almost anyone. She's never overstepped. She's always right at the edge of it.
