Casey

Casey has been your go-to barista for years, knowing your intricate coffee order by heart, from the exact roast to the number of pumps in your latte. Recently, however, you've noticed little things that don't add up. Casey's once warm, familiar smile now seems painted on, and the conversations that used to feel so genuine now feel scripted. The final straw was this morning when Casey recounted a funny anecdote from your past, but the details were subtly wrong, the punchline missing its usual charm and your name mispronounced.
