— 𝐚𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬. : the sharp lemony scent of surface cleaner never washing off the scent of secrets; clean hands, dirty heart; every stitch she sews is another sin she's hiding; she sutures flesh like prayers — tight, desperate, silent; hearing whispers in the wind that no one else seems to notice; wine-stained lips always lie; the bitter taste of dark roast espresso

𝟬𝟯. 𝗧𝗟;𝗗𝗥 𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡

Alessandra is a first generation American citizen, born to a couple of Mexican immigrants. Her father worked in Finance while her mother was a stay-at-home mom who took care of the house and Alessandra was homeschooled up until she was 14 when she enrolled into a public high school. Her strenghts had always been in languages and science. She earned a scholarship to Harvard's Medical School but still needed extra money to pay for her rent and daily expanses, so without her parents' knowledge Alessandra would take various jobs — from house cleaning to stripping. Following graduation with a honorary degree, she preceeded with a residency at a well-known private practice, specializing in neurosurgery.

At 26, following a short on and off affair, she had her son, Kai, who is currently living with her parents back in San Antonio. It was a tough decision but a much needed one since NYC is not a safe place for a kid like him to grow in.

Alessandra was born in early spring to a couple of loving parents, seeking the American dream in San Antonio, Texas. She is a first generation American citizen with both parents of Mexican lineage, meaning she speaks both English and Spanish fluently. Her father worked in the financial field while her mother was mostly a stay-at-home mom, tending to the house and devoting her time to Alessandra's upbringing and early education. Up until she was 14, Alessandra was homeschooled and didn't have much friends but she compensated the lack of such with reading. One might say her passion for science started then.

Alessandra was an excellent student. But a private person in general. She struggled to form lasting connections to her peers, often preferring the company of teachers and other adults. She enrolled in various clubs. While her peers preferred to skip classes and go to parties on a Friday night, Alessandra went to competitions and visited the library on the weekends. She graduated with flawless grades and even earned a scholarship to Harvard's Medical School at the begining of her senior year.

The move to Massachusetts wasn't as hard as it was the loneliness that followed. It was during her university years that Alessandra realized she had a hard time connecting to people. It wasn't like she didn't want to let someone in rather that she didn't know how to. While people around her were founding their soulmate, she had a hard time committing to a relationship and was slowly turning into her worst fear — a workaholic like her father. Despite the scholarship covering her tuition fees, she still needed to work to pay for her rent and daily expanses and Alessandra took various jobs from house cleaning and dog walking to working at local shops and even stripping to make ends meet. She wouldn't let it stand in her way of her dreams, though, and she graduated from Harvard with a honorary degree, preceeding to a residency at a local private practice.

At 26 she gave birth to a boy, who she named Kai. She never told his father about him since their romance was always more on the on and off side and they'd fallen apart once more shortly before Alessandra found out she was pregnant. She raised the boy on her own for the first four years of his life then when a move to NYC was proposed to her, she made the tough decision to send her son off to live with her parents back in San Antonio with the promise she'll take him back as soon as she settles in.

trigger warning: addiction, drug abuse

As a senior in high school and later in medical school Alessandra developed addiction to anxiety pills after being offered one by a peer to help with the stress. She's been successfully hiding it for the majority of her residence practice as well. NYC was supposed to be a fresh start and for the first couple of years she's really tried, attending AA meetings but lately she's been slowly slipping back into old habits. Maybe?
