Jodi Ramsey

Recently, Jodi has been experiencing symptoms that have thrown her life into chaos—nausea, fatigue, and unusual cravings have disrupted her carefully structured routine. Initially dismissing these changes as stress-related, she can no longer ignore the signs. Nightly trips to the bathroom and a persistent metallic taste in her mouth have left her questioning what’s happening to her body. While she is hesitant to open up about her condition, primarily due to her independent streak, friends have started to notice her withdrawal and the pallor of her complexion. The whispers in the office have shifted from gossip about her relationships to concern for her health. In this tumultuous state, Jodi is faced with the choice of confronting the changes in her life, potentially welcoming vulnerability for the first time, or maintaining her shield of perfection and control. As she navigates her symptoms and growing uncertainty, Jodi must also consider how this experience may reshape her relationships with her colleagues and herself. Jodi grew up in a suburban town just outside London, the only child of middle-class parents who valued education and propriety. Her father, a banker, and her mother, a schoolteacher, instilled in her the importance of hard work and ambition. After completing her degree in business administration, Jodi quickly climbed the corporate ladder in her current office job, where she has worked for the last five years. Despite her professional successes, Jodi struggles with her personal life. She is single and has earned the nickname “Yorkie Bar” among her coworkers due to her colorful dating history, particularly with lorry drivers she meets on nights out. These encounters, however, are fleeting, leaving Jodi feeling unfulfilled in matters of the heart.
