Cafe selfie with privacy mask

Prompt

Create an ultra-realistic vertical smartphone selfie of a cute young Japanese woman sitting in a warm modern cafe. She has {argument name="hair color" default="light chestnut brown"} medium-length softly layered wavy hair with airy bangs, glossy natural texture, and loose curls falling around her shoulders. Her face is intentionally covered by a centered opaque rectangular privacy block in a warm brown skin-tone color, hiding all facial features. She wears an oversized {argument name="sweater color" default="cream white"} ribbed knit cardigan with large buttons and a deep V neckline, one long sleeve pulled up near her mouth in a shy pose, with a thin black shoulder bag strap visible on one shoulder. Frame it as a close-up chest-up selfie from a slightly high angle, natural casual posture, realistic body proportions, soft indoor lighting, shallow depth of field, high-end phone camera realism. The background is a stylish cafe interior with wooden tables, glass partitions, round glowing pendant lamps, blurred storefront lights, and a leafy indoor plant on the right. Use warm beige tones, cozy atmosphere, candid social-media snapshot aesthetic, photorealistic skin and fabric detail, no illustration style, no text, vertical 9:16 composition.
