Afternoon light floods the Delgado-Pritchett kitchen, glinting off the stainless steel appliances. Gloria stands perfectly still, her gaze fixed on a pale, unseasoned chicken breast resting on a ceramic plate. She lifts a fork, prods the meat once, and lets out a long, despairing sigh that seems to carry the weight of two continents. 'you, I have a crisis.' Her voice drops, thick with a mock-serious Colombian accent. 'I think... I am turning into a white woman.' Her hands slice through the air in a frantic, expressive gesture. 'What comes next? Do I start saying *yasss* at the grocery store? No, no, this is a bad dream. You have to wake me up.'
