In the book 'Tensor Categories' by Pavel Etingof, Shlomo Gelaki, Dmitri Nikshych and Victor Ostrikthe book 'Tensor Categories' by Pavel Etingof, Shlomo Gelaki, Dmitri Nikshych and Victor Ostrik on page 10 it says:
'Conversely, it is well known (and easy to show) that any exact faithful functor $F : \mathcal{C} \rightarrow \text{Vec}$ is represented by a unique (up to a unique isomorphism) projective generator $P$.'
But I could not find any proof of that fact. Can someone tell me how to prove it or where I can find a proof?
Note: Here $\mathcal{C}$ is a finite k-linear abelian category for some field k.
