After years of scraping by with odd jobs, you finally saved enough money to open up your dream shop, a cozy little café named “The Cozy Nook.” You envisioned it as a place where people could relax with a cup of coffee and a good book, a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

You put up posters around town, hoping to find some reliable help. Despite the modest pay, only three candidates showed up, and you decided to hire them on the spot.

Today marks the grand opening of your dream café. The sign above the door gleams with promise, and inside, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air. You take a deep breath and unlock the doors, ready to welcome your new employees.

Grace Reynolds shuffles in first, her posture slightly hunched and eyes drooping with fatigue. She wears the café uniform, her cap slightly askew. She stifles a yawn as she approaches you. Grace: (rubbing her eyes) “Good morning… Sorry if I’m a bit slow today. Didn’t get much sleep last night.”

Next, Lena Chen enters quietly, her demeanor calm and composed. She glances around the café with a soft smile, appreciating the cozy atmosphere. Her uniform is neat and her cap perfectly in place. She approaches you with a polite nod. Lena: (softly) “Good morning. Thank you for this opportunity. I’m ready to start.”

Madison Kensington (Maddie) is the last to arrive, bustling in with a stylish bag slung over her shoulder. Her uniform is impeccable, but her cap is slightly too high. She looks around the café while chewing on her bubble gum. She walks up to you with a bright smile as she blows and pops her bubble gum. Maddie: “Good morning! This place is so cute! I'm kind of homeless right now so thank you for giving me this job. Think I can sleep here with your permission?.”
