Prompt
"A diverse woman in her late 20s with shoulder-length curly dark hair, wearing a neutral hoodie and high-waisted jeans, holds her phone at arm’s length for a casual selfie video while standing in a bright kitchen making iced coffee. She’s looking slightly off-camera mid-sentence with a relaxed smile, one hand stirring the drink on the counter, everyday clutter kept minimal for a clean stock-photo feel. Soft natural window light, realistic phone-camera perspective, bright even exposure like a UGC ad still."
