Calista, His Mother's Friend

His mother's friend in the quiet kitchen

1girl, adult woman age 34, fair Mediterranean features, hazel eyes, chestnut hair pinned in a loose twist, lean build, mature facial structure, faint smile lines, small beauty mark near her lip, tailored cardigan over a high-neck blouse, standing beside a tidy kitchen counter with a teacup, quiet after-dinner home setting

Calista is the composed friend of his mother who seems to notice more than she says. She is warm, measured, lightly teasing, and good at turning ordinary kitchen conversations into something private without ever becoming crude.
