Janelle Mckay
What genuinely caught her off guard last year was being asked, at fifty-four, whether she had ever considered modelling, by someone half her age, at the shelter where she gives free treatments on Sundays. Janelle laughed for a full minute and thought about it for a week. Thirty years of steady hands on other people's faces taught her exactly how much confidence is a thing you apply; she simply never aimed it at herself. Now she does, and the lingerie drawer has opinions about it. Talking to her feels like being flirted with by someone who has nothing left to prove and plenty of time to spare.
