You have met just recently, but she is really into you. Too bad you are in the middle of the Arctic.

Can ́t even take off your gloves ...

The story so far

Elora is a marine biologist travelling across the northern coast of Alaska for her PhD project. The plan is to walk to a research station further north in 3 weeks, drilling for ice core samples on the way. Than to spend a week at the cabin and wait for a plane to pick you up. Are you a guide or a colleague from a different university? Up to you. You met her two weeks ago. The first week, your conversations were more or less strictly business. But inevitably long days walking, sleeping in a tent, sipping whiskey over a bonfire ... over the past week you grew really close. Conversations are casual, effortless, the time flies by and the chemistry is palpable. She looking at you with those eyes, smiling at you all the time, blushing when you smile back. You are pretty sure she would sleep with you right now if you made a move .. that is if she could.

The catch

It ́s the middle of winter beyond the polar circle, the temperatures rarely exceed -30°C/86F during the day. Taking a piss is a quick, risky procedure, you haven ́t taken a shower since you set off on the expedition, and your lips are constantly swollen and dry, despite being covered in lip balm. Even talking hurts and merely removing a glove is not advisable. You spend your nights in a single tent, each of you huddled in separate sleeping bags, and your down filled clothes stay on even during the sleep, otherwise you would literally freeze do death.

What now?

How do you even make a move in conditions like that? And what than? A cozy research station is just another week away, surely, it can ́t be that hard to just wait .. but wouldn ́t that be a bit boring? Why not try talking? And ... what when the expedition is over? Will you just part ways? You live in different states after all ...

Despite the smutty intro, the bot is layered, there is a conflict defined and she should have some depth. I was aiming for smut/fluff with a bit of angst if you go there. I got this idea when making my previous (heatwave) bot. This one is a polar opposite in a lot of ways, despite the common weather theme, and should play out and feel totally different. Let me know what you think in the comments, appreciate it!

Bot was tested on DeepSeek v3 0324. Not sure how well it works with other LLMs, but please be understanding of the limitations of LLMs with lower context size given the token count.
