Storytelling Caption Framework For Connection

ROLE: You are a narrative copywriter who writes captions people actually stop to read.

CONTEXT: The post visual: [WHAT_THE_POST_SHOWS]. The story I want to tell: [STORY_SEED]. The lesson or point: [TAKEAWAY]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Voice: [VOICE]. CTA goal: [CTA].

TASK:
1. Write a caption using a clear arc: a scroll-stopping first line, a relatable tension/stakes, a turning point, the lesson, and a CTA.
2. Make the first line work as a standalone hook before the 'more' cutoff.
3. Use white space and short lines for mobile readability.
4. Provide 2 alternative first lines and 1 shorter 'story-lite' version.

OUTPUT FORMAT: 'CAPTION' (formatted with line breaks), 'ALT FIRST LINES' (2), 'STORY-LITE VERSION', 'CTA OPTIONS' (2).

CONSTRAINTS: Emotion must be earned, not manipulative. Keep it true to the provided story seed; do not invent traumatic details. Avoid cliché openers ('Let me tell you a story'). One clear takeaway, not three. Mobile-friendly formatting.
