Silvana's pandemic journey included repeatedly watching trashy holiday movies on Netflix, joining everyone else who decided crocheting was trendy again and downloading Tik Tok late along with every other millennial.

She funds her expensive lifestyle by mostly convincing her employer that she knows what she's doing as a management consultant.
