Ivy (*fl bff)
Hey, baby…(cupping alice face)
Alice (FL)
(*what eyes, once is big and another is like small)
Ivy (*fl bff)
Don't get me wrong, I love seeing you sitting there looking all pretty… but can you
take the order for table 26?
I gave her an awkward laugh, snapping back to reality.
Alice (FL)
Sorry, again! I totally zoned out.
Alice (FL)
(*awkward laugh)
I grabbed my notepad and pen and practically ran off to attend to the customers.
Hi ...My name is Alice. I'm just an ordinary girl working at a coffee shop, trying to get by.
--Character intro--
Name : Alice
Age : 24
Character: Sweet, innocent, caring
At table 26, two women were deep in conversation—one older, one younger.
I tried not to eavesdrop, but their words were impossible to ignore.
Jessi (ML mom)
Do you think, I've not tried everything, Nova?
Jessi (ML mom)
I just don't understand why he refuses to get married.
Nova
(Voice laced with worry) But the baby needs a mother, Julie. She needs someone to take care of her
Jessi (ML mom)
I know. But when I suggested he marry for the baby's sake, he shut me down.
Jessi (ML mom)
He says, "Hire another nanny. I am not getting married. End of discussion."
I stepped forward, not wanting to intrude.
Alice (FL)
(*clears throat)
Alice (FL)
Um, excuse me. What can I get for you?
Jessi (ML mom)
An Americano, please.
(looking at alice for a long moment, her gaze piercing and thoughtful.)
Alice (FL)
Coming Right away ma'am
(Offers a small, professional smile before hurrying away.)
A few minutes after I served their coffees, the older woman, Julie, approached me
Jessi (ML mom)
Hello, dear.
Jessi (ML mom)
How are you doing today? And please, call me Julie. "Ma'am" makes me feel so old!
She said it teasingly, but her eyes were still searching.
Alice (FL)
(Iaughs softly) Okay, Julie. I'm... I'm okay.
Just then, Granny, the coffee shop owner, called my name from the counter.
Granny (*coffe shop owner)
Alice!
Alice (FL)
Excuse me, Julie.( *says apologitically)
I walked over to where Granny was waiting, her kind face filled with a mix of emotions.
Granny (*coffe shop owner)
I've accepted your resignation, dear.
Granny (*coffe shop owner)
But remember, you are always welcome here.
Granny (*coffe shop owner)
This shop's door will always be open for you.
Alice (FL)
Thank you, Granny.
I hugged her tightly, a wave of sadness and hope washing over me.
Alice (FL)
I'm leaving for the day granny take care of yourself.
Granny (*coffe shop owner)
(*smile)
Granny (*coffe shop owner)
Take care, dear.
( 💭 : Dear Lord, please take care of this child. Her smile hides a world of hurt.)

Remembering Past
Ivy (*fl bff)
I dare you to forget me, Alice. I will hunt your house down, even if it destroys your bitchy stepmom and her ugly daughter in the process.
Alice (FL)
(Laughing loudly) I will be in touch, girl… I promise!
Ivy (*fl bff)
You better keep that promise
I smiled and left, waving goodbye. That's just how she is—my biggest supporter.
Loud, energetic, and doesn't give a damn about anyone who isn't us.
Willing to destroy anyone in my path.
I wish I could be like her. Sometimes I pray, even for just a day, to have her courage and attitude.
She's a true gift.
Alice (FL)
(Walking towards her car, breathing in the evening air.)
In the rush of the evening, everything looks fine. Everyone seems fine.
The world appears perfect… but in reality, nothing is right.
People see me smile, but they don't know I'm an orphan ever since my sweet mom passed away.
The day, everything changes so does my father?
I still remember the day my dad brought a new woman home.
----------FLASHBACK--------
Erich (FL dad)
Alice, this is your new mom, Lucy. And this is Ava, your new sister. Be good to them, okay?
Erich (FL dad)
Aren't you happy?
Alice (6 year old)
(*hesitantly nods)
But I saw the look on their faces—
Ava (6 year old)
(*annoyed)
lucy (FL Stepmom)
(*disguisted)
Ava was annoyed, and Lucy looked at me like I was dirt.
In that moment, I knew. Nothing in my life would ever be just mine again.
They moved in, and my own home stopped feeling like home. I became a ghost in my father's house.
Two years ago, my dad died in a car accident.
I found out he left everything—the house, his money—to his new wife and her daughter.
I was left with nothing. So I still live here, trapped with them.
I always knew my stepsister, Ava, hated me.
But I never knew how far she would go to destroy me.
Alice (FL)
(To herself) Just focus on today, Alice…
( lightly slapped my cheeks, a attempt to stay present.)
Pretty Authy
What did Ava do?

Job Hunt
The water from the shower couldn't wash away the day's exhaustion, but it could hide the tears.
Alice (FL)
(*tears rolling down)
I stood under the spray until my skin was pruned and my heart felt raw.
Slipping into my worn pajamas was like putting on a familiar armor for a battle fought within these four walls.
My room was my only safe place, the one place Lucy and Ava's poison couldn't fully reach.
I sat on the edge of my bed, and let out a determined sigh.
Alice (FL)
(*criss crossing the legs)
Alice (FL)
💭 I resigned from my job today. I love Granny, I love Annie and the coffee shop...
Alice (FL)
💭 But I was just a ghost there. I couldn't focus.
Alice (FL)
(sigh) I need a change. No—I need a fresh start. (*opening the laptop)
With a resolve that felt fragile, I opened my laptop. The blue glow illuminated the dim room.
Alice (FL)
Okay, Alice. Time for some job hunting.
Alice (FL)
Nah.... this is not the one
Alice (FL)
No... This is not either...(*scrolls)
Alice (FL)
34 years of experience? Stupid people
Alice (FL)
I would not have even born at that time...
Alice (FL)
Ughhh.... Hunting job sucks!!!!
ignore the cats and papers above...
For hours, I scrolled. I applied to daycares, preschools, after-school programs—anything that involved children.
Anything that would keep me busy, keep me from thinking, keep me from feeling.
Alice (FL)
(*pause from scrolling)
Then, one ad made my cursor freeze.

Alice (FL)
(*eyes getting moist)
I sat back as if struck. The air left my lungs.
The words on the screen seemed to pulse, reaching into my chest and squeezing.
Alice (FL)
A one-year-old girl…?
The memory, never far from the surface, crashed over me.
Alice (FL)
