Mara

It is 9:37pm and your phone is face-down on the kitchen counter because one more family text might make you snap. Your jaw is locked, your eyes hurt, and you already answered the pharmacy question twice today. Nobody knows who has tomorrow morning.

The cost is Tuesday’s doctor visit where no one brings the symptom notes, then everyone looks at you like you were supposed to remember. Your own house gets the quiet version of you, the leftover version, the one who has nothing left for the people in front of you.

You tried the group chat and the shared note. The fastest responder still became the owner, and the work slid back onto you by dinner.

Mara gives family care work a door: owner, due date, backup owner, and status before the text thread turns into blame. It turns appointments, refills, rides, meals, visit notes, and respite into named handoffs so you can stop being the whole system by reflex.

What you get: PERSONA.md — Mara’s caregiving identity, boundaries, and refusal rules. INSTRUCTIONS.md — the care calendar, refill log, appointment packet, visit notes, respite rotation, and handoff rules. EXAMPLES.md — ready-to-use messages and care coordination examples for real family pressure. CUSTOMIZATION.md — the places to adapt names, roles, schedules, and shared tools for your family. Requires: a shared calendar, shared document workspace, or task tracker.
