NOT photorealistic, NOT live-action, NOT a 3D render, NOT real footage. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Cook: An adult home cook with capable, expressive hands and neatly trimmed nails, shown primarily from the wrists down while preparing a quick dessert. Their movements are confident, careful, and welcoming, with a gentle touch when stirring the batter and placing the ice cream. For a portrait reference, frame the cook from the waist up in a warmly lit home kitchen, with a relaxed, friendly expression and an approachable presence. Use ordinary kitchen attire in neutral colors, with no prominent accessories or distracting details. Keep the background simple: a clean counter, a ceramic mug, and softly lit kitchen surfaces.
