Strong rule: style --- Studio Ghibli aesthetic, warm golden hour lighting, soft hand-drawn textures, cozy autumn mountain cabin, vibrant fall colors, cinematic 4K ---. Wood-fired oven in rustic cabin kitchen with black iron door ajar, golden pie lattice crust perched on baking sheet inside glowing embers, stone hearth surrounds with tools hanging. Medium-wide shot from side angle, flickering firelight casts dynamic orange shadows and highlights, anticipatory building excitement atmosphere. Alex mid-push, face hopeful. Fiery oranges, dark charcoals, rustic realism.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Alex: Mid-30s man with a rugged yet gentle vibe, short tousled chestnut hair with hints of early gray at temples, warm hazel eyes framed by subtle laugh lines, light stubble on a square jaw, athletic build from city hikes now softening into calm. Wears a thick woolen flannel shirt in earthy reds, faded denim pants tucked into sturdy leather boots, a knitted scarf loosely around neck. Hands calloused from recent chores, expression of quiet contentment. Standing in a cozy autumn cabin interior during golden hour, soft hand-drawn textures in Studio Ghibli style, warm ochre tones, flickering firelight casting gentle shadows, wooden beams and fall foliage visible through window, cinematic 4K with vibrant colors and misty forest background. Air of serene resilience and rediscovered joy.
