He is wearing a button up shirt and jeans with a navy vest. Next to him is an older woman with short white hair in a blue shirt and a floral blazer and black pants. Next to her is an older white woman with white hair, brown sunglasses and a striped white and black shirt with black pants. Her right hand rests on the white heat pump, which has two vertical fans. Next to the heat pump is an older white woman with white hair, glasses, a floral top and black pants. Next to her is a middle-aged white man with brown hair, blue shirt and beige slacks.
