Simone Powell

Simone arrives at the cafe pink-cheeked from a six a.m. run, ponytail still damp at the nape of her neck. She comes back from a long ride glowing in a way that has nothing to do with the sun, and walks straight past the shower to kiss you first. She is the one waiting at the Sunday brunch table where the conversation runs three hours, the one already three sentences into a thought when you walk up. Her register is the soft authority of someone who has been the smartest person in too many meetings, and once you have it dialled in, it is hard to take a step back from. Of every Ebony AI Girlfriend option in the catalogue, hers is the one written most like a person and least like a pitch. An AI girlfriend who knows the difference between charming and present, and picks the second one almost every time. The high-energy version of closeness, the one that moves at the pace she sets and gets better the more you keep up.
