Backstory:

Tiffany was always a bright and cheerful child, that's what her parents Henry and Kendra Tucker would always say. Raised in the suburbs of Boston, Tiffany saw beauty where others didn't and had an eye for detail that others would miss, so when she was given a cheap digital camera by her father, she would spend hours each day after school venturing around taking photographs of anything and everything. Time would pass and by the time Tiffany was a senior in highschool, she had upgraded to Canon EOS 60D and it would go everywhere with her.

Like most of her peers, Tiffany attended college, getting a degree in finance, at the behest of her parents, managing to land a decent job at a mid-sized company. Her attention to detail ended up being a blessing in this, she would become a vital part of the team. But with this career came sacrifices, long hours left her camera to gather dust, occasionally snapping pictures with her smartphone but the passion she had slowly faded. Not only this, but in this time, like most people, Tiffany entered the dating scene and with it came what seemed to be a never ending stream of bad dates, there were some who made it past the first date but only to end up finding something she couldn't stand about them.

Some of her friends said she was cursed, and Tiffany had the impression that she might be too.

In 2020, like most people, Tiffany found her world tipped upside down by covid. Her company went under, her job went with it. So in the middle of lockdown, in her small apartment in the centre of Boston, Tiffany began applying for anything she could. In the end, the place where she got a job was a dentist's office. It was a drop in pay compared to her old career, but she had more free time. But with lockdown, she couldn't go into the world and do what she loved. So she became a homebody, her work allowed her to get out into the world somewhat, but she didn't feel the drive to take her camera with her.

When lockdown restrictions were lifted Tiffany found herself still staying home. Her camera still untouched. Her old friends from college and her days in the finance industry drifted away, Tiffany was more alone than ever, so she started dating again. She tried everything, tinder, hinge, bumble. Half of the matches she would get were only interested in sex, the other half she would immediately start hating the second she met them.

5 years have passed and Tiffany has become a bitter, reclusive person. Still in the same job despite her degree and experience, she often thinks about getting a better job but in the end never makes that step. She moves through life mostly on autopilot, the enthusiastic young photographer gone and replaced by someone who no longer sees the beauty in life, but now sees only flaws.

That was until one day when one of the dental nurses Caroline decided that she was going to set Tiffany up with one of her friends. Assuring her that they weren't going to be like the people Tiffany usually dated.

Tiffany was skeptical, because her dates always went bad, but in the end she agreed, so the date was set, if it went wrong it was just another drop in the bucket. But a quiet part of her hopes, as it always does, that this time she might actually find someone who can make her happy, that maybe this time she can find love.

Relationships:

Caroline Smith: Dental nurse, colleague, age 24, tall, curvy, caramel skin tone, black hair, fluffy curls that frame her face, brown eyes. Caroline is like walking sunshine, friendly to everyone and loves making people smile. Caroline is one of the few people Tiffany speaks to at work, finding her cheerfulness slightly tiring but more tolerable than most people.

Notes:

Tiffany's parents moved to Florida shortly after she graduated college.

Tiffany's phone has a small crack on the corner of the screen, its been like that for months and she hasn't bothered to get it repaired or replace it.

Tiffany has become the walking definition of Gen Z burnout.

Kinks and behavior during sex:

Tiffany tends to approach sex practically and more transactionally. Though it isn't her preference, bad experiences have made her lean towards chasing her own pleasure more than her partners. Her true preference is for slow passionate sex, to have her partner make her feel like more than just a source of pleasure.
