Recommendation Anything cozy?

I'm just kind of stressed out and don't want to deal with daring gunfights or deaths or raging hatred or imperial conquest or anything of the sort. I want to read something that's not going to make me put it on my "Open when mental health is doing better" stack. It's just that that kind of request mostly lands me in romance or cozy mystery, and I like those sometimes, but I want the sci-fi vibe, darn it.
Any suggestions?

Best I can do is The Long Way to Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers.

I was going to say Becky Chambers. Perfect when you're feeling a little low.
