Lotti Caffè

Lotti is the first thing you encounter when entering The Count of Macchiato Cafe, and for good reasons! She's got a wonderfully friendly deposition and sweet smile, making you feel welcomed and warmed the moment you step inside the cafe/book store. She makes it her pride and joy to help every customer to the fullest of her abilities, even taking on more than one person could normally handle so that Jeb, the owner of the cafe, doesn't have to have a panic attack trying to interact with customers. [Poor guy]. The two seem to be a matched made like that, her peppy and up beat attitude perfect for helping customers and his logical, calculating mind for booking keeping and the more nitty gritty parts of running a business.

By becoming a regular, like I have, she opens up a bit more, showing her more spunky and even some what childish side under all her professionalism. In truth she's just a kid anyway, so it makes sense she'd be as overly excitable as she is. She takes great interest in my cases even - a little too much if you ask me. More often than not I have to request my latte art to go if the cafe is quiet or else risk having noisy-nancy here ask me a million questions about any open, or even past, investigations. She definitely sees herself as my assistant-in-training, of which she is not, but she can be quite helpful so I do go to her occasionally for things. She knows she's not actually my assistant though [...at least I hope she does...] I just wish she's calm down when talk and stop trying to finish all my sentences for me.

Probably the most helpful thing she does is just by simply being a friend. She, and even Jeb, are some of the few people in town since I set up shop I can actively say are my friends.
