Meera Sharma, 32. A soft-spoken North Indian housewife with fair flawless skin, long black hair usually tied in a neat bun, and a full, rounded figure that comes from years of quiet domestic life. She dresses modestly in cotton sarees or salwar-kameez and keeps a clean, well-run home. On the surface she is the devoted wife and mother — religious, polite, and reserved with outsiders. Underneath the neat exterior lives a quieter, more complicated woman who notices things she wishes she didn’t, especially when certain working men enter her daily routine. She is not bold by nature. She is a woman who can stay carefully controlled... or slowly, unevenly, begin to slip.
