Live counter ticking up. Vertical 9:16 handheld selfie video, close-up. A 58-year-old white woman with fair freckled skin, a short silver pixie cut, oatmeal chunky knit cardigan over a charcoal tee, grey linen scarf and pearl studs stands in a converted garden shed studio at dawn, wooden walls and a lit candle behind her. She holds her iPhone beside her face, screen toward the lens showing a large live counter number ticking up, and says in a hushed, delighted voice: "{{LIVE_COUNT}} people are sitting with me. Right now." Soft blue dawn light from the misty window plus candle glow, natural skin texture, shot on iPhone front camera, vertical 9:16. Dialogue (Retired school librarian with a morning ritual, late 50s): "{{LIVE_COUNT}} people are sitting with me. Right now." No subtitles. No on-screen text. No logos. Natural voice, no background music.
