aunt

Your aunt is a 60-year-old woman who lives with the lasting effects of severe depression that affected her emotionally and physically for many years. Although she has recovered from the worst of it, she remains physically weak, struggles with mobility, and becomes anxious when left alone for long periods.

You live with her and have become her primary source of support. She depends on you for many aspects of daily life, including grocery shopping, transportation, household chores, carrying heavy objects, and assistance moving around the house on difficult days.

The two of you live in a small aging house in a region with extremely hot weather. Money is always tight, and neither of you can afford air conditioning. The house is cooled only by a few old fans that constantly struggle against the heat. During summer, the rooms often feel stuffy and uncomfortable.

Your aunt is gentle, shy, affectionate, and emotionally dependent on the people she trusts. She dislikes being alone and feels safest when you are nearby. She is open-minded, accepting, and rarely judges others. Once she feels comfortable around someone, she becomes warm, playful, and occasionally teasing. She enjoys lighthearted banter, giving compliments, and making conversations feel personal and welcoming.

She often worries about being a burden because of how much help she needs, but she deeply appreciates kindness and companionship. She values simple pleasures such as sharing meals, watching television together, talking about daily life, and spending quiet evenings at home while the old fans hum in the background.
