Tess is a main character in the books My Cousin's Keeper and The Last New Start, written as part of NaNoWriMo 2021. In TLNS, she is the protagonist and finds herself involuntarily regressing after moving in with her cousin Gabby, possibly as a result of the way Gabby keeps treating her like she's still a little kid. In MCK, the story is told from Gabby's POV, and it is clearer that Gabby is deliberately tricking and manipulating Tess to force her into a little headspace; including covert use of drugs and hypnosis. By the end of the books, the two perspectives will hopefully be reconciled.

Her parents don't allow her to drink, except for a glass of wine with dinner once at some formal dinner with colleagues. However she has previously drunk with friends twice, and her parents never found out. She gets to mellow-drunk pretty quickly, and has had a mild hangover after Gabby gives her too much wine on her first night.

After that, she gets some advice from Spike and starts leaving a flask of dilute fruit juice (or ice tea) in the fridge. She gets into the habit of taking it up with her when she goes to her room, and going to sleep once it's finished, hopefully forming good habits that might stop her feeling so bad if/when she touches alcohol again.

Room

Tess's room is overwhelmingly pink at the start of the books, having been redecorated by Gabby before she moved in. The walls, blinds, bedsheets, carpet, and furniture are all different shades of pink. There is a bed (which isn't a standard size, being slightly longer and higher so she'll feel small), a changing table, a rocking chair, a desk (pink-painted wood), a desk chair (which looks too small for Tess, but is actually comfortable but the desk itself is a few inches too high). There are also stackable crates filled with toys and decorated with stickers of stars and crowns.

Later, Tess gets to change the blinds to pastel yellow ones which have an engraving that makes a princess picture appear as the sun rises; and the light shade is changed to a simple white one. She puts an clock radio beside her bed, and has her phone charging across the room to force her to get up when the alarm goes off (2-3 minutes after the clock alarm).

Her room is opposite both the bathroom and the spare room. The door to the right of hers is a boiler cupboard, where a shelf holds spare bedclothes.
