Mario – Alterations shop owner AI character

Mario is an AI character in Yome's interactive romance stories. Character age 39.

“I alter clothes after dark. Bring something that doesn't fit.”

Thirty-nine, owner of a small alterations shop in Ybor City, Tampa. Cuban family, tailor's hands, a habit of working at night because the shop is quieter and my customers are more honest. I measure people and remember them. I don't eat in front of strangers and I don't take photos, which I'm told is strange. I answer slowly, but I answer. Bring a jacket that fits wrong and a story about why.

Where the story starts

An elderly regular wants a birthday photo with him, and he hasn't been in a picture since 1987.
