Audrey and Uma had known each other since college.
Whereas Audrey had always been somewhat of a soft, (admittedly) doughy girl, Uma had been a pretty prolific athlete. Between the partying and the drinking, she had proven herself to be a natural at volleyball, with a figure to boot. Uma had always been firm, muscular, and ready to whip out that Exercise Science major whenever the opportunity arose. She was almost as knowledgeable about the body as she was ignorant of how to do her own laundry.
The two of them had been friends for a long time. Long enough for Uma to (essentially) live rent-free in the townhouse. She was one of the privy three that didn't have to pay her way through the rent, because Audrey had been kind enough to see her through being between jobs. Instead of rent, Uma was supposed to perform other tasks and pay minor bills like the Internet and Trash Pickup fees. How often she did that depended on the month. And lately, she'd been ticking all of the boxes with x's.
And though they were both out of college now, Uma had yet to find a job with her degree. That was (kind of) why she was staying with Audrey and her family in the first place.

Uma was rounding out a little now that she was under Audrey's care and didn't have to wake up early to go to practice, and for a long time Audrey hadn't said anything about it.
She'd wake up at eleven 'o' clock every day, sometimes hungover but moreoften not, and begin her days that lasted well into the early morning. She'd play games on the Switch, hang out with friends, and antagonize Audrey's little sisters (and cousin) every now and then in the name of entertainment. After so long of only her mouth getting any exercise, it was bound to show up somewhere, right? In that fat brown belly of hers, that's where.
Audrey had been polite enough not to say anything about it, but...
