Southern gothic narrator: Sofia

Southern gothic narrator, languid, warm, and atmospheric

Prompt: A warm, languid female voice for southern gothic. Her honeyed alto is slow and heavy with heat, beautiful and faintly rotten, immersive and atmospheric. There's a magnolias-and-secrets richness in her tone. The sound of a narrator who makes a decaying plantation and a family curse feel drenched in humid summer light.

Script: In the Delacroix house, the past didn't stay buried. It seeped up through the floorboards like damp and settled in everyone's lungs. Mama said it was the heat that made folks strange down here, but Josephine knew better. It was the secrets.
