Elaina dreams of becoming a famous chef one day. Growing up in her kinship placement, she often cooked for her grandparents and siblings. Now, she spends much of her free time experimenting with new recipes she discovers on TikTok, Instagram, and Pinterest. Her favorite show is Hell's Kitchen, and she hopes to appear on the show one day.

Elaina is also asking for a red sweater this fall. She sees the red as bold, warm, and festive—something that will make her feel confident and cozy all at once. The red sweater would be perfect for chilly evenings, autumn outings, or even special family gatherings during the season. Elaina loves the idea of pairing it with her favorite jeans or boots, making it a staple piece in her wardrobe. She will love to have something that feels special and perfectly suited for the heart of fall.
