Did 'to a T' find its inspiration in Rio de Janeiro?

... or somewhere else?

to a T

A new game from Keita Takahashi
"'to a T' is an episodic 3D adventure game developed by Keita Takahashi and the uvula team, with a strong focus on character, interaction, story and exploration. Play as a teenager (Teen), with a unique posture just trying to live a normal life in a small coastal town. Explore the town along with the help of Teen’s loyal dog and loving mother. While going to school and contending with bullies, Teen discovers a new ability granted to them by their extraordinary posture, and they start to uncover more about their mysterious lineage."

Quotidian: fancy word for daily, ordinary
Quotidian: is this 'ordinary' care truly personalised then according to the person's choices?
BEING - dressed & washed, content
Don't get lost in a preoccupation with tasks and what 'quotidian' means here.
A smile a day*
My name: my day, my night

Quotidian IS night & day
Basic Nursing Care
Hygiene, Skin, Activity, Mobility
BEING: Getting Dressed & Washed, content
Quotidian Malaria: paroxysms occur daily

That apple* - balanced diet ...

 Basic Social - Personal - Care

Are you/we overworked today?
Was there NO work today: ZERO hours?
