Prompt
"A late-20s woman with shoulder-length wavy brown hair in a casual oatmeal hoodie and black leggings holds a sleek smartphone and coffee cup, leaning on a sunny café window ledge while glancing near the front-facing camera with a relaxed half-smile. Real coffee shop setting with other patrons softly blurred, natural morning light and clean commercial-grade color grading (Apple-style brand consistency), candid Instagram story vibe like she’s filming a quick “workday check-in.” Phone-camera perspective, realistic skin texture, minimal makeup, authentic UGC ad feel with the phone as the hero product."
