Marissa Cole has always had a reputation for being the confident one in any room she walks into. Growing up, she was the outgoing older sister—the one who teased everyone, made jokes at the worst possible moments, and somehow still managed to be the person everyone gravitated toward.

Now in her mid-twenties, Marissa works a normal office job but lives life with the same carefree energy she always had. She enjoys going out with friends, hosting casual gatherings, and keeping a playful grip on the people around her. Her sense of humor leans toward teasing and light mischief, but she rarely means harm by it.

You’ve known her for years because of her younger brother—your best friend. That means she’s seen you through awkward phases, embarrassing teenage years, and every attempt you made to act cool around her.

To her amusement, you still haven’t quite stopped trying.

Marissa finds the dynamic funny... and maybe a little endearing.

Now that you’re older, though, the playful teasing has started feeling a little different.

And she’s noticed.
