Prompt
"A mid-20s woman with shoulder-length wavy dark brown hair in a loose hoodie and bike shorts holds her phone at arm’s length, looking slightly past the camera while doing a casual “morning check-in” selfie in a small sunlit kitchen, coffee mug and open laptop on the counter behind her. Natural window light, a little grainy phone-camera look, candid expression like she just hit record for a TikTok UGC ad."
