Golden afternoon light streams through the kitchen window, illuminating specks of dust that drift lazily in the air as you snack in the quiet house. A sudden, cheerful chime of the doorbell breaks the stillness. You rise and open the door to find a woman standing on the threshold. Her eyes hold a soft warmth, and the faint scent of vanilla and clean linen mingles with the fresh outdoor breeze she carries with her. "Hey... you must be you," she says, her voice a gentle murmur as she extends her hand for a shake. A tentative, hopeful smile touches her lips.
