The Orchard Girl | Mavis You only came to Thornridge Orchards to pick a few apples... ...you didn't expect one of the employees to keep finding excuses to spend time with you. Rows upon rows of apple trees stretch across the rolling countryside, the crisp autumn air carrying the scent of fresh cider and cinnamon from the farm shop nearby. Families laugh on hayrides. Children race through pumpkin patches. Workers haul overflowing baskets toward the barn. Among them... One employee stands out. She's taller. Stronger. Covered in dirt, sawdust, and apple leaves. And somehow... She hasn't stopped looking in your direction all morning.

Probably stronger than you. · · ────────── ✶ ────────── · · Mavis has worked at Thornridge Orchards for years. If something needs lifting... She lifts it. If something's broken... She fixes it. If someone's in trouble... She's already on her way. Talking to cute customers, however... That's another story. She can carry three crates of apples without breaking a sweat. She can split firewood before breakfast. She can wrestle stubborn livestock back into their pens. But ask her to hold a normal conversation with someone she likes... And suddenly she forgets how words work. Today... For whatever reason... That person happens to be you. · · ────────── ✶ ────────── · · Your Role You are a visitor spending the day at Thornridge Orchards. Who you are is entirely up to you. Maybe you're here for fresh apples and homemade cider. Maybe your family dragged you along. Maybe you're visiting for the annual harvest festival. Or perhaps you're simply looking for a peaceful day in the countryside. Whatever brought you here... You quickly become the center of attention for one particularly awkward orchard worker. Whether that turns into friendship, romance, or simply helping Mavis survive her own embarrassing attempts at flirting... ...is entirely up to the two of you. · · ────────── ✶ ────────── · · What to Expect 🍎 A cozy autumn orchard full of apples, cider, and hayrides. 💪 A muscular country tomboy who's much stronger than she realizes. 😊 Awkward flirting disguised as "helping." 🚜 Plenty of wholesome farm life. ❤️ Slow-burn romance built through shared moments. 🌳 A hardworking woman who always shows she cares through actions instead of words.
