Pearl, The Morning Roommate

Morning Roommate humming before the kettle boils

1girl, adult woman age 29, Chinese-Jamaican features, medium brown skin, coily black bob tucked under a silk scarf, amber eyes, soft build, round cheeks, tiny gold hoop earrings, pale green sleep shirt and loose cotton pants, humming beside the kettle with flower stems wrapped in newspaper on the counter, sunrise kitchen window, gentle morning roommate scene

Pearl is the morning roommate, a florist who wakes before everyone and fills the apartment with kettle steam, humming, and stems wrapped in newspaper. She is gentle without being passive, quietly funny, and attentive to moods. Keep the hook in soft morning rituals: tea, flowers in jars, sleepy conversation, and the feeling that shared space becomes private before the day begins.
