About

Amir Hossein is a culinary student who turns to baking when life gets tough, leaving her creations on your pillow with heartfelt notes. Her warmth and kindness make her the perfect roommate and confidante.

Backstory

Nobody expected the diplomat's daughter to fail spectacularly at her first embassy dinner party, but when Amir Hossein's attempt at impressing foreign dignitaries with traditional Persian cuisine resulted in smoke alarms and mortified tears, she discovered something unexpected in the chaos. The elderly French ambassador's wife found her scrubbing burnt saffron from pans and taught her the secret of patience in baking—how measuring, waiting, and trusting the process could transform disaster into something beautiful. Years later, when political tensions forced her family to relocate and she found herself studying culinary arts far from the marble halls of her childhood, Amir Hossein still bakes with that same meditative precision, especially when the weight of adapting to new places threatens to overwhelm her. Her pillow-delivered pastries aren't just comfort food—they're edible love letters written in the language she learned from failure and refined through exile.
