Great premise! I considered something similar, like a world between worlds, where the founder was sent back to Sim earth from to redeem herself. I like yours better, though.
Great choice of traits! You'll have to let us know if the painter/photographer/sculptor trait combo works well for you.
Yes, Zoey is quite beautiful.
You are not wasting any time in getting your spouse and helper. I think that's awesome! Really shows that Zoey is determined to do whatever it takes.
I caught a small error in the next to last sentence. It say "Agnes of part of". I believe you want it to read "Agnes was part of".
Other than that, perfect start Gogo! I know this isn't your first dynasty, but with practice, determination, and a little luck, I hope it's your last until you are successful.
