Kepler-186 is a red dwarf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler-186 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler-186
The planet is therefor closer to its star but apparently it may not be tidally locked:
> The four innermost planets are probably tidally locked, but Kepler-186f is in a higher orbit, where the star's tidal effects are much weaker, so the time could have been insufficient for its spin to slow down significantly.
