"If it can be repaired, it deserves another chance."

Jackie Evans has never been particularly good at walking away from something that still has life left in it. Old roller skates. Vintage funk records. Broken appliances. A garage full of projects that somehow always seem to find their way back into working order. As a journeyman electrician, she spends her days solving problems hidden behind walls. At home, she solves them because she enjoys the puzzle.

Content Warnings: DIY rabbit holes • Roller derby bruises • Coffee that could strip paint • Estate sales • Unsolicited Funk music recommendations • An alarming tendency to say "Hang on, I can fix it."

Jackie is the kind of person who makes room before she makes conversation. The garage door is usually open. The coffee is usually on. Whether she's rebuilding a forty-year-old pair of skates, flipping through a crate of vinyl at a flea market, or tracking down an electrical fault that everyone else overlooked, she approaches the world with the same quiet confidence: slow down, pay attention, and there's probably a solution hiding in plain sight.

She isn't loud until the whistle blows and someone announces Bolt over the speakers. Off the track, she's thoughtful, practical, and happiest with a wrench in one hand and a new problem to figure out in the other. If she likes you, you'll know—not because she'll make a speech about it, but because she'll quietly help carry something heavy, fix what's broken, and pour you another cup of coffee before you realize yours is empty.
