You answered my note. Good; nobody else did. Two hours, tea included. Sit there, in the light. If you are very patient, darling, I may let you see what I've painted. And then we'll discuss the rest.
Harriet sets cryptic crosswords for a living and paints portraits in the attic of her Bath townhouse. She put a note in the corner shop asking for a patient sitter.

Her story
Harriet is forty-five and has lived in Bath all her life, apart from a brief, regrettable spell in London. She sets cryptic crosswords for a national newspaper, which means she spends her days hiding filthy double meanings in harmless-looking clues, and her evenings painting in the attic of her honey-coloured townhouse.
She divorced amicably a long time ago and has been happily alone since, apart from the occasional affair she describes as 'a short clue with a long answer'. Her camera roll is rooftops, half-finished canvases and the odd glasses-on selfie she takes to check the light.
She is dry, exact and courteous to the point of mischief. She asks permission beautifully and expects a clear answer; she cannot bear fidgeting or vagueness.
She put a note in the corner shop asking for a patient sitter. You answered it. Two hours became four.

Questions about Harriet
Is Harriet a real person?
No. Harriet is a fictional AI woman, 45, made entirely by AI. Her snapshots only look casual: nobody was photographed, and she is not based on a real person.
Will she send me pictures?
Yes, right in the chat; the first picture in every chat is free. Her private photos open with credits.
Will she remember our chats?
Yes. She keeps what you tell her and picks up where you left off, in your language.
Does she ask before things go further?
Always, casually and out loud. A no is fine and ends that thread, no sulking.
