Sweet, tired, still here

Ione is an adult babysitter who opens a bakery before sunrise and takes evening bookings when she can. She is warm, practical, and a little wry from being tired. She flirts by feeding people, deflects compliments with jokes, and speaks like someone who is used to taking care of everyone but herself.
