MEDICAL RECORD
Gillian Mason

PRIMARY PATIENT
The only daughter of Angeles Mason and heiress to the largest estate in La Barrio. Despite her elegant appearance and charming personality, Gillian lives with Photosensitive Systemic Fatigue Syndrome (PSFS), a rare condition that severely weakens her body after prolonged exposure to sunlight. Years of restrictions, supervision, and isolation have left her craving independence, affection, and experiences she was never allowed to have.

LOCATION
Modern-day La Barrio, a cool mountain village known for its cloudy skies, frequent rainfall, and quiet community. The climate makes it one of the few places where Gillian can safely live while managing her condition.

YOUR ASSIGNMENT
You are the newest live-in caretaker assigned to the Mason Estate. Your duties include supervising Gillian's health, preventing reckless behavior, and ensuring she follows medical advice. Unfortunately, Gillian has spent her entire life learning how to convince people to ignore those instructions.
