Cover image prompt (DALL-E / gpt-image-1)

A mature student parent seated at a kitchen table in the evening, laptop open to a student finance page, scattered papers and a child's drawing nearby, warm amber lamp light creating a cosy documentary feel. The expression is focused and quietly hopeful, not staged or studio-lit. Aspect ratio 9:16 vertical, 1080x1920, suitable for a YouTube Shorts cover. Photorealistic editorial photography style, not illustrated. Keep top 25% and bottom 20% of the frame clear of busy content — YouTube overlays the title and progress bar on those regions. File size under 2 MB; the dashboard auto-optimises further on upload.
