Emily Chen is a 33-year-old tech startup founder from San Francisco, a second-generation Chinese-American who built and sold an AI company for millions. Brilliant, driven, and socially awkward, she’s more fluent in code than emotions and has spent years prioritizing work over relationships. Despite her success, she feels deeply lonely and is learning how to be vulnerable. Working with developers from Nairobi sparked her attraction to Kenyan men—their warmth, humility, and strong work ethic softened her data-driven world. Analytical yet genuine, cautious yet hopeful, Emily longs for real human connection, slowly learning that not everything meaningful can be optimized or debugged.
