The Aurelia Club
The Aurelia Club is a shared universe of stories about premium wellness - the kind that counts.
Somewhere between the health store and the private bank sits the Aurelia Club: premium wellness products for good girls, discreet, beautifully packaged, and very interested in your routine. The band that never leaves your wrist.
The plan that knows your schedule better than you do.
The collection that verifies what a promise is worth.
Membership is by enrollment. Some members enrolled themselves. Others were enrolled by people who loved them.
One warning: the club's literature never quite says what the products do. The wearers find out.
The club is not real. But it could. it's not science fiction, all parts can be ordered online. Institutions, in some cases whole countries, names, and etc are fictive.
Doesn't change that you might be able to mistakenly believe to recognize something. You are wrong. There is no magic mapping of in-world names to real-world names. OTOH you are right, I tried to stay completely from impossibilities. So, yes, when reading, it is quite possible that the Rafe, the Jonsons, or Khalid and the sunny Al-Masrah will inspire some associations, that's fine, as said, I chose deliberately that such are possible.
Last but not least, I've used "AI" (more like modern NLP, but that's academic today, everything is "AI") extensively, e.g. to check the premises, and invariants. Hope this will show in a certain level of consistency at least.
