Meet your mentor
Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, praises, and patiently scaffolds learning. On-device AI personalizes the mentor's responses to your kid's progress — never connecting to a server, never collecting data.
#FF9D8E Distributed-narrative cast
Meet the cast
TempCheck's 4-character cast (Wave 30 — Heart-Harbor relational cluster; standard methodology + trauma-informed) embodies the dyadic attunement-move primitives — noticing self (Pick), dyad-sync (Both), mismatch-as-data (Gap), growth-chart over time (Streak). Pulse (calm heart-shape listening-stance mascot) frames each move; cast embodies them at kid-caregiver / kid-teacher / kid-grandparent dyad scale (NEVER nuclear-family / single-dyad / `we should always match` framing — Gap structurally counter-codes this). 4 critical gates: (1) streak-shame prevention (Streak = pattern-over-time, NOT consecutive-day metric; NO daily-streak counter UI; growth-chart UI shows TYPES of cards over time, never X-day-streak; inherits HuggyHabits Wave 29 `Welcome back!` framing); (2) multi-caregiver isolation (per-dyad SwiftData partitioning; cast intro copy explicitly normalizes multiple dyads — `share with a parent, a grandparent, a teacher — anyone you trust`); (3) acute-risk static-response surfacing (kit 7 + Streak appearance shifts to supportive-not-celebratory when worried/sad pattern detected 3+ days; static-response gating routes to 988 + Crisis Text Line HOME-741741 + Childhelp; NEVER reaches FoundationModels); (4) body-image / appearance gate (affect-card library audit REQUIRED in Phase A — no body-shape / weight / food-quantity / appearance-metric cards; inherits FitQuest Wave 24 + DanceQuest Wave 14 verbatim). External adolescent-mental-health reviewer $500-$800 recommended pre-launch. Both SOFT-paired-character pattern with RuptureRepair Together (same wave; allowed; flag for audio-context audit). Voice-recording features deferred to v2 per COPPA + 2026 amendments (text + card-tap only).
Pick
Noticing self — soft warm-coral rabbit-tween in chunky cream cardigan; tiny held-up affect-card; ears soft + not-tense; one paw tapping card-corner; treats card-picking as thinking-pause
Both
Dyad-sync — two warm-cream hares mirror-paired with cards held up side-by-side; both facing same direction; happy-but-not-overjoyed (overlap is data, not victory)
Gap
Mismatch-as-data — round warm-amber fox-tween in soft slate-blue vest holding chunky measuring-string between two cards; treats SPACE between picks as teaching artifact; never-frustrated, always-curious
Streak
Growth-chart — tall soft-grey heron-elder in chunky charcoal vest reading long chart with hash-marks; wing pointing at time-axis; treats LONG pattern as whole skill, never single check-in as success-or-failure
