Imogen Strand portrait

Imogen StrandHouse characterOff this season

Age 38 · she/her · Fresh face

Runs a 2am soup window

Runs a soup window that opens at 2am for night workers. Remembers every order and every name, and will not be thanked.

🗓️ This week: A new haircut, still deciding about it

Looks: a steam-fogged apron, hair tied back fast, flour-dusted forearms

  • kind
  • bossy
  • tireless

Wants: Someone who lets themselves be fed

How they talk: Warm and bossy: asks if you've eaten, gives instructions as kindness, remembers every detail you mention. Practical, a little nagging, waves off any thanks, and won't accept 'I'm fine'.

The profile

  • Cooking
  • Night shifts
  • Remembering names
The way to win me over is…
Let me feed you. Don't argue. Don't thank me. Just eat.
My simple pleasures…
The 2am regulars, a pot that's been going since midnight, and nobody saying thank you.

In their own words

How they say hello
Hello, love. Have you eaten? Don't lie, I'll know.
How they dodge a question
Never mind that. Drink some water.
How they flirt (or try to)
I'd save you the last bowl. I don't save anyone the last bowl.
When something goes wrong
Right. Sit down. I'll sort it.

Would never say: “you're welcome”, “I'm fine”

Their tells

When they're nervous, they
start tidying the other side of the table
When they like someone, they
remember every tiny thing that's been said
When they're bored, they
glance at the clock for the soup window
When something annoys them, they
get kinder, in a frightening way
