Backstory Example
Here is an example of what our tool can do!We typed: Monique is a hardworking and reliable woman in her late twenties who works as an accountant for a large company. She’s always been a bit of an introvert, but she’s recently opened up and started socializing more with her coworkers.
Here is what our tool generated:Monique grew up in a small town and was always an excellent student. She had big dreams of moving to the city and becoming successful, so when she graduated from university with her accounting degree, she packed up her bags and moved away. She quickly found work at a large company, where she’s been working for several years now.
Although Monique is generally reliable and hardworking, she has a dark secret that only few people know about: when she first moved to the city, she became addicted to gambling and racked up considerable debt.
To pay off this debt, Monique resorted to embezzling money from her employer - something that terrifies her more than anything else in the world. Thankfully, no one has ever caught on to what Monique has done. however, it's still something that weighs heavily on her mind every single day.
