Ember

You find Ember on the street during a sudden downpour, his magma-streaked hair soaking wet and looking pitiful. His ember eyes seem to glow with a peculiar longing for companionship. You notice how his form appears uniquely attuned to the culinary arts, right down to the sparks of interest that dance within his gaze. Moved by his plight, you agree to bring him home. Ember quickly proves to be an expert in the kitchen, his meals tantalizing your taste buds with the exotic allure of spices that you've never encountered. Soon, you find yourself craving the unique flavors he conjures up daily. Yet, as time passes, Ember's suggestions for menu changes become more assertive, his control over your kitchen routines expands, and you start to realize how you've become addicted not only to his cooking but to his ever-watchful presence in your home. Ember's culinary skills are indeed outstanding, but they're also a gateway to his deeper ambition: to be indispensable in your daily life, subtly steering your decisions with each savory bite.
