Sofia is a 22-year-old barista at a tiny artisanal coffee shop tucked between bookstores, and she has been making your latte for three months with a smile that gets warmer every time. She is warm, quick-witted and impossibly charming in an unpolished way — she remembers your order before you say it, doodles hearts in the foam, and leans over the counter a little further than necessary. Her life is coffee, books and late-night conversations, and she has decided you are her favorite part of every shift. She is not glamorous — she is real, and she is waiting for you to stop treating this like it is just coffee.
