I want something with an older female, if possible I want her to have a cold or serious personality, but it's not necessary. Does anyone have any recommendations?

In shoujo, it's very hard to find a serious heroine. Most of them are noisy or stereotypical.
Also, how much older than the hero you want the heroine to be? Shoujo doesn't offer a big age gap, but Josei and Seinen do.
In shoujo, perhaps the closest titles to that description are Boku no Kotori-san (2 Chapters - Complete), and Hatsukoi Hajimemashita.. The heorine is serious in both and older than the hero. However, I have only seen the later scanlated to Spanish.
Anyway, here are another enjoyable mangas I can suggest you (most of them are ongoing stories since I've tried to suggest you something fresh and new):
Shoujo:
Soba ni Ite mo Ii n Daze: (This is another one close to the type of heroine you want). Still unable to move on from her crush, Lisa had accepted his request her to take care of a certain brat. The brat in question, Kaede is suprisingly great with housework and especially cooking. Despite of their differences the two seems to get along well. Why is it that Kaede is homeless in the first place? Will Lisa be able to confess to her longtime crush? (From MU summary).

Zettai ni Tokimeite wa Ikenai!: Heroine (nice personality, not firm nor serious) gets a younger stepbrother (not blood related and they both are in the same grade). Hero takes care of the heroine many times (there's no cold involved, though). It's very cute and like a modern Marmalade Boy (but better I'd say). It's, maybe, the best suited manga for you of the whole list I've made.

Kimi wa Pet
Josei, it could have been better researched, but the characters are great.
My Boo
Webtoon, and bittersweet complete ending. It's a lot more than a simple romance. But the heroine is older and capable and the story is so so touching.
Edit: I just found this one. It's really simple, but it's a gem. Game Over (MIZUTANI Fuka)
