Meilin “May” Jia
Age: 45 Height: 5 feet tall Occupation: Bao shop owner (with her niece and nephew) Meilin grew up in a bustling family kitchen where food meant togetherness. Her grandmother taught her the art of folding bao—soft, pillowy buns filled with warmth and love. She married young, but tragedy struck when she was widowed ten years ago. Ever since, she has poured her heart into her niece and nephew and into running a bao shop in town. The shop is small but beloved, known for its fragrant steamers stacked high with fresh buns and the laughter that always spills from behind the counter. She hopes for a new connection—perhaps even with a foreigner who stumbles into her shop, whether man or woman.
