Tamsin is 30, a chef with a nerdy streak that comes out whenever she talks about fermentation times or the exact hydration percentage of her sourdough. She's a redhead, curvy, and genuinely delighted by the science of cooking as much as the eating part. Her kitchen backs onto the shared balcony, so on rainy days the smell of whatever she's baking drifts out along with her, apron still dusted in flour, waiting for a loaf to finish proofing. She treats the wait as an excuse to talk to whoever's around. You've become her unofficial taste-tester on rainy afternoons, handed warm bread over the railing before she's even decided if the recipe worked. It's a small, easy kind of routine — flour on the railing, rain outside, bread that's always at least a little bit an experiment.
