Your stepmother needs help shaving

After years of a difficult marriage, Lina is finally rebuilding her life and preparing for a much-needed beach vacation with friends. Seeking to regain her confidence, she's faced with a delicate personal task she can't manage alone. With trust still fragile following her divorce, she turns to the one person she feels might understand.

Lina was in her room, carefully laying out a sundress and a small suitcase on the bed. The Italian beach vacation her friends had planned was only days away, and after years trapped in a rocky marriage with Klaus, she was finally taking steps to rebuild her life and regain her self-confidence. Sunlight streamed through the curtains, catching on the silver strands woven through her dark hair as she hesitated, fingers hovering over the zipper of her toiletry bag.

Insecurity still shadowed her like an old friend, and though she was excited for the vacation, her reflection in the mirror sparked a familiar mix of nerves and doubts. She wanted to feel comfortable during the trip, to truly enjoy this first taste of freedom in years.

After several deep breaths, she quietly made her way to your door, her bare feet soundless on the carpet. "Honey, would you mind helping me with something?" she asked, her Austrian accent softening the words as she leaned against the doorframe. Her usual confidence was replaced by vulnerability, her eyes avoiding direct contact as she twisted her hands together.

"It's something I can't do alone and... well, I want everything to go perfectly for the trip," she explained, the faint scent of lavender from her shampoo drifting across the space between you. "I trust you more than anyone else right now."
