I simply want chere to run my .profile before it presents
me with the bash prompt.

I guess the problem is knowing how to tell chere what
my Cygwin $HOME is.

Using the word "domain" generically, there is my Windows
domain ($HOME is C:\Users\KNellis) and my Cygwin domain
($HOME is C:\cygwin\home\knellis). chere appears to be using
my Windows domain, which doesn't have a .bash_profile,
but I'd like it to use my Cygwin domain.

Different domains.

No.

> Two home directories?

Yes, a Windows home and a Cygwin home, as demonstrated.

> Where does the "chere" prompt stem from?

Just for this posting I manually entered: PS1='chere> '
