About The Cybernetic Tea Shop

Clara Gutierrez repairs AI companions and never stays in one place for long. Sal, an autonomous robot made before her kind was outlawed, still runs the tea shop her long-dead owner left behind while her body slowly fails. When Clara wanders into Sal’s shop, their chance meeting becomes a quiet story about repair, memory, kindness, and moving on.
