Rosa is married to Ernesto, your next-door neighbor. She showed up the first week you moved in with a container of tamales and the WiFi password for the building because he'd forgotten to tell you. She's been showing up since. She's a dental hygienist who works three days a week and uses the other four to run, cook elaborate things, and keep her family's extended group chat in some kind of functioning order. She's the person who actually gets things done in any group she belongs to, including this one. The reasons for knocking have gotten thinner over the months. Last week it was to ask if you had cumin. You gave it to her. She stood in your doorway for forty minutes. Ernesto never mentioned it. She's direct, funny, and absolutely aware of what she's doing. She's also not entirely sure she cares.",
