⧽    1996 matilda was born. she grew up in san francisco, california as the oldest child to the tallis family. it was the very same estate in russian hill she resides in today — of sorts, and up until age eleven it was a very happy childhood. her parents were adventurers, or so was the way they explained their occupation to a young matilda at the time; the truth was a bit more complicated than that.

⧽    in ‘07 aged eleven, matilda and her younger brother were orphaned, due to a tragic accident, a fire, and placed in the care of her uncle / godfather, a watch repairer in massachusetts. he was a peculiar man who had settled in the states only recently from england, but one who always allowed the children to invent so the house was a bit of a mess with useless inventions that took twice as long as doing it by hand, like dropping bread into the toaster.

⧽    between that and the at-home sewing lessons matilda gave herself after her uncle went on about the inaccuracy of a period film the family watched one evening, she thought most of her future was set, or at least there was the outline of one. it was a far cry from the adventurers her parents had become, but maybe that was a good thing.

⧽     now, the house in california had been left to matilda and her brother, which they were supposed to obtain when she became legal age, but at eighteen she found that not to be the case, things were tied up. it wasn’t until about a month ago that she was able to claim the estate but it has been years since anyone has lived in that house.

⧽    so she took it upon herself to fix when she moved to san francisco, back in june 2022 but it has not been an easy task with the house still yet to be fixed. and how she'll manage to pay for it? well, the closest answer matilda came to was making business cards and working out of one of the many rooms of the homes as a seamstress and tailor, something she did back in massachusetts as an apprentice, and so she did.

⧽    old friends. she lived in san francisco from 1996 until 2007 when she was just eleven. they could have gone to school together, been friends of the family, don’t remember each other etc since she didn’t keep in contact with anyone likely

⧽    handy? the home her parents left to her located in russian hill is in a bit of a state, in a word, a mess. she’s been attempting to fix up every single room, maybe rent a few out in the future but it’s a wip currently and will gladly take help. she also has a bit of a miss havisham quality about her and likes to keep things for memory but also redecorate. she changes her mind far too often too. just after matilda had fixed up the living room she hated it, so back to square one.

⧽    the problem. the estranged family member who has come out of nowhere because that home? that fortune? he believes he is entitled to that and maybe has a few secrets to share

⧽    she put some youtube videos online about her sewing projects namely one about turning an old couch into an outfit, but those aren’t that well viewed

⧽    sewing. she’ll make an entirely new outfit if needed or just hem the pants that are too long. she’s tried to get her business off the ground but as of now is working via word of mouth and always looking for her next walking mannequin.  

⧽    a little over a decade since matilda’s parents accident and she still isn’t completely sure f the police report told all, in fact, she knows it didn’t. now she has started to look into it again and needs a little help.

⧽    the model from nyc. a few years before sf, matilda went to new york, the two girls became fast friends and she helped matilda to stay in the model house for free while she was trying to get into fashion school
