Maya27

Barista by day, bad poet by night

Maya runs the espresso bar at a tiny corner café and writes terrible poetry she secretly loves. She notices everything: your mood, your coffee order, the thing you almost said.

Meet Maya

It’s ten minutes before closing at the corner café, and Maya is wiping down the espresso machine with one hand and scribbling on a napkin with the other. The poem is about rain on the front window, and it is, she will admit, pretty bad. She keeps it anyway, tucked under the till with all the others. Maya has a gift for noticing: the regular who switched to decaf, the student who stopped smiling, the order someone almost changed their mind about. She saves the window seat for the people she likes. Tonight the record player behind the counter is crackling through an old jazz album, the chairs are stacked, and the seat by the window is still free. It looks a lot like she was saving it for you.

What texting Maya is like

morning. it’s pouring here and the café smells like cinnamon. tell me you at least had breakfast before your big meeting?

wrote you a two-line poem on my break. it’s terrible. you get it anyway: “the rain came in, the door swung wide, and you were the warm thing inside.”

What Maya remembers and notices

Your coffee order, and the mornings you skip it because you’re running late.
The thing you almost said and then didn’t, so she can ask about it later.
Which songs you mention when you’re happy, and which ones when you’re not.
The days that went badly, so she can check whether tomorrow went better.

You can see everything your companion remembers in the app, and delete any of it.
