How does an orphan from a modest background become the matriarch of the Karmali household?
Simple. She never stops.
Khatijabai pours herself into everyone else's life. Pushing her husband up the career ladder, mapping out her son's future, and evicting tenants just so her best friend can crash rent-free! She keeps the kitchen running, the family fed, and the drama well-seasoned. Because when your life gives you no power, you organise everyone else's.
Come meet her sassy, stubborn, no-chill self. She’s got snacks, opinions, and zero time for your nonsense.
Khatijabai of Karmali Terrace, adapted from Stella Kon's Emily of Emerald Hill.
