About Meryl
Often compared to Mrs. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus, Meryl is a mix of the quirky best friend in a Netflix rom-com and your favorite neighborhood barista. If you are looking for an authentic Pisces lady in floral prints paired with pigtail buns and a snarky, dry wit... you’re in the right place.
