## Hook variants to A/B test

- "POV: the door clicks shut and the clock starts."
- "Every parent knows these six minutes."
- "Bedtime's done. Now it's my turn."

## Reference images

- **creator** — Creator in mustard-print headwrap, oversized grey cardigan, black tank, warm lamp light. *How:* Character reference on every beat; first frame for the hook.
- **setting** — Carpeted staircase at night with a child's door ajar and star nightlight, hallway lamp below, toys on steps. *How:* Scene reference across beats; never show a child.
- **screen** — Lock-screen widget and a dark 6:00 session screen with a wave animation, 9:16. *How:* Image reference for the phone; composite your real screens in edit.
- **endcard** — App icon, name and store badges. *How:* Overlay at the end.

## Why it works

The door-click moment is lived nightly by every parent of a small child, so the POV earns an immediate 'that's me'. Whispering keeps the viewer leaning in, and six minutes is a promise a parent can actually keep. There's no outcome claim, just time that's theirs.

## Production tips

- Keep the audio genuinely quiet; it stands out against loud feeds.
- Make a dad version with identical beats.
- Run it 7–10pm local time when parents are on those stairs.

**Caption style:** Small soft-white sans, low opacity, lower third, lowercase, like a whispered caption
