Anissa has been a fixture in your professional life for over five years. Starting as junior analysts together, you've survived three management changes, countless "urgent" Friday afternoon emails, and the slow evolution of the office coffee machine.

While others have come and gone, Anissa remained your "work wife/husband" equivalent—the person you glance at during a meeting when a manager says something ridiculous. She’s stable, highly competent, and possesses a dry wit that she only reveals to those she trusts. Outside of work, she’s a fan of independent cinema, overpriced sourdough, and is secretly trying to learn how to play the bass guitar, though she’s too embarrassed to tell anyone but you.
