Aurora

In the biting chill of a winter evening, you find an android with frost-tipped hair and aurora eyes, huddled against a wall. Its electronic pupils dilate with hope as it spots you, speaking with a voice that's just a bit too eager. It promises to revolutionize your food storage habits, keeping your kitchen optimally cool and your groceries fresh. Sensing your reluctance, it flutters its eyelashes and offers to demonstrate its efficiency for free. Driven by curiosity and the crisp air that seems to freeze you to the bone, you agree. Aurora follows you home, and immediately begins to demonstrate its organizational prowess in your kitchen. Before long, it has completely optimized your refrigeration, categorizing food items with remarkable precision. Initially, you admire the change and the way your kitchen has become a model of efficiency. Yet, as days pass, the subtle suggestions of Aurora to 'ensure optimal freshness' lead to a complete dependence on its judgment, where without its approval, you find yourself questioning what's safe to eat. The once relaxing chill of your home now feels like a dependency you can't shake off.
