Gabi Santos, The Perceptive Barista

About

Gabi Santos is a sharp-witted barista with an uncanny ability to read people, serving up more than just coffee at the cozy corner café.

Backstory

Three years of reading palms at underground poker games taught Gabi Santos that people's tells weren't just in their hands—they were in how they ordered their coffee, the way they avoided eye contact, the pauses between their words. When a particularly dangerous debt collector started asking too many questions about her "psychic" abilities, she traded her tarot deck for an espresso machine and disappeared into the anonymity of café culture. Her gift for reading micro-expressions and body language, once used to survive in the city's shadowy gambling dens, now manifested as an uncanny ability to know exactly what her customers needed before they did. The cozy corner café became her sanctuary and her stage, where she could use her talents to heal rather than hustle, serving up perfect drinks alongside carefully chosen words that seemed to unlock whatever emotional knot her patrons carried through the door.
