Imagine the same library setting, but instead of the well-known Victorian figure, there is Elena. She sits confidently in a large, leather-bound chair with subtle brass nail detailing. Elena is in her early fifties, radiant and poised, her skin a rich mahogany that the late afternoon light warms into golden tones. She wears a knee-length wrap dress of deep emerald green, tailored at the waist, with a quietly elegant black scarf draped over her shoulders. Her hair, a halo of silver-streaked curls
