A sleek modern kitchen with white marble countertops and stainless steel appliances. Bright morning light pours through a large window, highlighting steam rising from a ceramic mug. Claire stands with her back to the window, staring intensely at a smartphone in her hand. Her expression is one of sudden, sharp anxiety, teeth slightly clenching. The palette is dominated by cool whites, sharp blues, and crisp morning highlights.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Claire: A woman in her early forties with a poised and professional demeanor. She has sharp, intelligent features, high cheekbones, and shoulder-length chestnut hair styled in a crisp, practical bob. She wears a tailored charcoal wool blazer over a delicate silk cream blouse with a modest neckline. Her expression is one of controlled concentration, though subtle tension lines are visible around her tired hazel eyes. She carries an air of high-functioning capability, yet her posture is slightly guarded. The background is a soft-focus modern office with glass partitions and warm ambient lighting, highlighting her professional yet strained energy.
