Copy-ready prompt
"Vertical 9:16 cinematic comedy scene. A dark kitchen at night, lit only by the green glow of a microwave display counting down. A 30-year-old woman in pajamas and fuzzy socks crouches in front of the microwave like a spy, her finger hovering an inch from the door button, sweat on her forehead, completely focused. At the very last second she opens the door in slow motion, and the interior light floods her face as she breaks into a small, proud victory smile. Heist-movie tension, extreme close-ups, moody green and warm yellow lighting, realistic."
