James nodded. “Great. Kenna, you’ll be doing the coffee‑spill improv a few minutes after the opening line—just make sure the timing is right. We want that natural laugh.”

Kenna laughed, “I think we’ve earned a coffee—maybe without the spill this time!”

James, impressed, called out, “Mia, you saved the day! Let’s keep the momentum.”

Kenna, who had been rehearsing her lines in the green room, thanked Mia for the quick fix. “I was worried we’d lose our lunch break, but you made it happen.” The day’s final segment was a montage of Maya’s day—preparing breakfast, reading a newspaper, and sharing a quiet moment on the balcony. The music, a breezy indie track, required precise timing.

Mia whispered into Kenna’s earpiece, “Your cue is at 00:14:32. You’ve got a half‑second to pause.”
