A seated woman with long, straight dark hair wears a black short-sleeved top and holds a silver pen, focused on a computer monitor. Standing beside her and leaning forward is a woman with short, curly brown hair, wearing a patterned blue and white blouse. She looks down at the same monitor with a supportive, guiding expression, pointing subtly toward the screen. Bright, natural light streams in from a large window in the background.
