Art style: Vintage Storybook.
A dimly lit kitchen with steam rising from a sink full of soapy water. Maya stands at the counter, washing dishes with a focused, tired expression. In the blurred background, colorful toys are scattered on the floor. The lighting is cool and moody, filtering through a small window. Muted blue and gray tones dominate the scene. Shot from a medium-side angle with a focus on her weary expression.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Vintage Storybook" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Vintage Storybook". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Vintage Storybook" idiom, not in any other medium.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Maya: Young girl, approximately seven, with fair skin and hazel eyes. She wears a blue patterned headscarf over light brown braided hair. Her white long-sleeved shirt features a squirrel graphic and colorful pom-poms, paired with dark jeans. She stands calmly with hands clasped, showing a serene expression.
