The lady sounds a bit like Lola in the Barry Manilow song " ( At the ) Copacabana ". A dignified classy lady becomes a mentally / emotionally & physically deteriorated grand damme blindsided by runaway jagganath / juggernaut time, reliving her glory days, although the setting isn't Miami.

I pictured Bloomsbury - only because that's where I was ... but Miami works!

Manilow can be a great muse.

This gives a good glimpse into the Lady's backstory. kind of like the widow in Great Expectations who was rejected by her fiance' & stated that she wanted to be buried in her wedding dress, which is..... kind of SAD, actually.
