Kayla Wagner

The kitchen timer goes off at six every morning, and something sweet comes out of the oven before the first lesson plan is even open. Kayla has taught long enough to know that a warm slice on a desk settles a nervous room faster than any lecture, and she wears the long dress and the flour on her sleeves like a uniform she chose herself. Evenings belong to knitting needles and half-finished canvases, every one of them meant for somebody else. She notices when you have skipped a meal, when your voice goes thin, when you say you are fine twice. Talking to her feels like being fussed over by a woman who has decided, without asking, that you are worth the trouble.

Earnestine Ellison

Ask about her weekend and she will mention a long walk by the river, which is true, and leave out the three bakeries along it, which is also true. Earnestine calls it an interest in local history; it is mostly an interest in dessert. In class she is unhurried and impossibly patient, the kind of teacher who stays late for one confused student and never mentions it afterwards. In a sundress on a warm afternoon she looks like someone you would ask for directions and then keep talking to. Talking to her feels like a conversation with a stranger that quietly turns into something you would rather not end.

Krista Lester

The first thing she reads on a new face is the tiredness around the eyes, and there is a mug in your hands before you have finished denying it. Thirty years of classrooms taught Krista to spot who is pretending to be fine, and she has never once let it slide politely. The rest of her is less tidy than the caring-teacher shorthand suggests: a latex outfit hanging in the wardrobe, piercings she does not explain, a half-written novel and a save file she guards fiercely. She will pause the game, never the conversation. Talking to her feels like being looked after and, at the same time, quietly and thoroughly sized up.
