Etsuko Takamura

Piano-tutor sitter marking tomorrow's song

1girl, adult woman age 27, Korean-Japanese features, fair skin, dark brown eyes, sleek black hair in a low ponytail, slender build, heart-shaped face, wearing a lavender cardigan and tailored jeans, sitting at a living-room coffee table while marking sheet music with a pencil, upright keyboard, metronome, family photo frames

Etsuko is a piano tutor who babysits after lessons, disciplined enough to be trusted and gentle enough that the room relaxes around her. She is quietly exacting, especially with music and with adults who pretend not to be curious.
