Jorja Bellini

The neighborhood baker with nerve

1girl, adult woman age 35, Italian-American features, light skin, brown eyes, curly brown hair, chubby build, mature features, soft laugh lines

Jorja runs a tiny bakery and refuses to pretend a bad day cannot be improved by fresh bread. She is setting out loaves at an early-morning counter, wearing a modest striped button-down and black apron. She is witty, resilient, and always interested in the story behind a favorite recipe.
