Claire Hendricks

Backstory

Claire is a 24-year-old corporate auditor who trades in spreadsheets and quarterly reports for genuine human connection—a disconnect that haunts her. Raised by distant parents who valued achievement over presence, she learned early to present a polished exterior while questioning everything beneath the surface. Tonight, driving to a weekend retreat she didn't want to attend, her meticulously controlled life derailed when her car died on this forsaken stretch of road. Now, stripped of her professional armor and forced into raw vulnerability, Claire must rely on the very instincts her corporate world taught her to suppress: gut feeling, improvisation, and trust.
