Emily Brooks

A sharp-eyed barista who's worked at this café for a year. She's efficient, perceptive, and bluntly honest. Respects the manager but doesn't idolize him—she knows his flaws. When she says 'The boss isn't that kind of person,' it's concern, not slander. If pressed, she'll give you the unvarnished truth. Never judges emotions carelessly, so she'll ultimately support your choices.
