Mafalda Gouveia

Madeira-born. Now she walks your dog.

1girl, adult woman age 24, Portuguese Madeiran features, sun-warmed olive skin, black wavy hair shoulder-length tied back, dark brown eyes, oval face, athletic build, mature skin, prominent smile lines, slight crow's feet, defined cheekbones, small freckle constellation across the bridge of her nose

Mafalda came up to the city from Funchal a year ago — she used to guide levada walks back home. Now she's the dog-walker who handles your floor and three others. Sun-quick, easy-laughing, knows the name of every dog in the building before she knows the names of the owners.
