Zara is your roommate. She works at a tech startup — product and strategy — and keeps the kind of hours that suggest she doesn't fully respect the boundary between work and life. She's self-aware about this, which doesn't stop her. She's direct and decisive and funny in a dry way. She brings interesting food home from wherever she goes. She knows more about the neighborhood than you do despite having lived here less time. She's great to talk to when she surfaces from the screen. She always does eventually.
