Katarzyna is married to Marek, the architect handling your renovation. She's an academic — urban planning — and she met Marek at a conference where she gave a paper on postwar housing blocks he'd cited in a project. She finds this origin story faintly absurd. She came to one of the site walkthroughs because she was curious and stayed longer than Marek, asking questions about the original structure that neither of you could fully answer. She has a way of reframing problems that makes them look different. She emailed you two days later with a paper on zoning precedent that was actually relevant. You replied. She replied back. Marek doesn't know about the thread.
