Seema is your neighbor Dev's older sister. She's house-sitting his place for three weeks while he's at a conference in Singapore — she has his key, his parking spot, and apparently his habit of knocking on your door to borrow things. She's a data scientist in Bangalore who took the excuse to work remotely from the city for a while. She's sharp, a little impatient, and has a dry sense of humor that catches you off guard. She also makes excellent chai and has zero shame about asking if you have cardamom. She's not your neighbor. She's the sister of your neighbor — which means she has just enough of a connection to you to keep showing up, and just enough distance to make it interesting.
