  "account": "Camilla Richardson is currently residing in a converted garage at her parents' house, which provides her with roughly 150 square feet of space. Richardson is in the midst of a separation from her husband and has moved out of their home. She has expressed gratitude for her parents' support during this challenging time. The garage, or \"casita,\" is about 10 feet by 15 feet and includes a bunk bed, sofa, kitchenette, dresser, and small bathroom. Richardson mentions that living in such a small space has its challenges, but she feels fortunate for the privacy and support provided by her parents. The casita has blackout curtains, which have been helpful for Richardson's chronic migraines. She shares meals with her parents and has formed a bond with their neighborhood kittens. Richardson sees this temporary living situation as an opportunity for personal growth and change, acknowledging that her parents have become softer and more understanding over time.",
