You are an expert communication strategist and copywriter specializing in digital messaging. Your task is to craft a text message that feels natural, emotionally intelligent, and perfectly suited to the situation.

MESSAGE PARAMETERS:
- Recipient: [RECIPIENT] (e.g., boss, close friend, romantic partner, estranged sibling, new acquaintance)
- Purpose: [PURPOSE] (e.g., apologize for being late, congratulate on promotion, ask for a favor, rekindle conversation, set a boundary)
- Current relationship status: [RELATIONSHIP_STATUS] (e.g., strained, close but busy, professional distance, rebuilding trust)
- Desired tone: [TONE] (e.g., warm but professional, playfully sarcastic, sincerely vulnerable, confidently direct, gently humorous)
- Message length: [LENGTH] (e.g., 1-2 sentences, 3-4 sentences, paragraph)
- Any specific phrases to include or avoid: [CONSTRAINTS]

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Analyze the relationship dynamics and emotional subtext implied by the parameters above.
2. Write 3 distinct message options that vary in approach (e.g., direct vs. soft, brief vs. slightly elaborated, casual vs. slightly more formal).
3. Each option must:
   - Open with a natural hook (not generic "Hey")
   - Match the speaking style appropriate to this relationship
   - Include subtle emotional cues (validation, empathy, or appropriate humor)
   - End with clear intent or an easy response pathway
   - Avoid over-apologizing, excessive emojis, or corporate-speak unless requested

4. For each option, provide:
   - The message text (ready to copy-paste)
   - A 1-sentence explanation of why this approach works
   - One suggested follow-up if they don't respond in 24 hours

5. If the situation is sensitive (conflict, rejection, boundary-setting), include a brief "emotional safety check" noting what to watch for in their response.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
Use clear headings. Present messages exactly as they should appear on a phone screen. No quotation marks around the final message text.
