I can't recommend a plant, I've haven't run across one that would be easy (not that they don't exist). I live on the lower peninsula, so depending on where you are in SJ, we may have similar conditions.

I currently have 4, 2 vars of Prince Charming (hybrid) and 2 ayabacanas, I have not yet bloomed them. I've killed a few, each a different way; moss too wet, moss too dry, bacterial infection, too much heat, etc. Some went within hours (heat), some drew it out for weeks but I didn't know it.

My current practice with Masdies are:
50-70% RH (ideally would be higher)
60-70°F 2/3 of the year (ideally would be lower)
bright shade
air circulation 24/7/365
cool pots or pot-in-pot sitting in a puddle of water
100% sphagnum moss (I HATE sphag)
Spray water on top of moss when dry.
Water with squirt bottle when I absolutely, positively know lower moss is dry.
Do not allow for wet moss during hot spells.

These are my BKP so far.
