Olivia (early 20s, WOC) 

  • Easily-overwhelmed, Go-getter, People-pleaser

Melanie (30s, WOC) 

  • Professional, Jaded, Chronically over it

  • Development Executive Assistant 

Melanie is not the type to mix work and her personal life. On the clock, she’s all about efficiency and getting the job done. Off the clock, she’s an eco-enthusiastic who enjoys trips to the comic book store and the dispensary.

Gabriela (mid-late 20s, WOC) 

  • Efficient, Crafty, Fun-shady

  • Talent Executive Assistant

One half of a codependent work-wife duo who always finds a way to let the good times roll and go with the flow while they clean up their drunk boss’s messes— often literally. At work, they tend to fall into a classic mom-dad dynamic, with Gabriela being the snack-bringing, vegetables-before-dessert disciplinarian.

  • No filter, Always down for a good time, Easy-going

  • Talent Executive Assistant

One half of a codependent work-wife duo who always finds a way to let the good times roll and go with the flow while they clean up their drunk boss’s messes— often literally. At work, they tend to fall into a classic mom-dad dynamic, with Jasmin being the more relaxed, pushover dad-figure.

Chet (60s, white man) 

  • Fussy, Demanding, Curmudgeon

  • Olivia’s Boss, Studio Executive of Ice Box Studios 

Chet is a powerful executive who makes and breaks careers. He loves old Hollywood almost as much as he loves firing people, and though he can’t be bothered to keep his own calendar, he hates being told what to do by anyone who makes less than him— which is everyone.

Amanda (30-40s, white woman, WOC also encouraged)

  • Clingy, Peppy, Gossipy

  • Melanie’s Boss, Development Executive of Ice Box Studios 

Amanda is a cheery chatterbox who is always down to discuss the latest trends— especially over brunch. She’s generous and caring to a fault, but her neediness tends to come off as smothering when it comes to her personal and professional relationships.

Kenneth “KW” Williams (30s, any race POC-preferred) 

  • Congenial, Overgrown Frat Guy, Drunk

  • Gabriela and Jasmin’s Boss, Talent Executive of Ice Box Studios 

KW lives life in the fast-lane— mostly because it’s hard to be on time when you party as hard as he does. He specializes in wine-ing and dining clients when he’s not passed out!

Yelesk (pronounced Yah-less-k) (30s, white woman) 

  • Bohemian, Flaky, Bubbly

  • Head of Ice Box Studios’ HR

A “champion of diversity” by her estimate, a human resource representative by everyone else’s. Her last name also happens to be Williams… KW’s wife.
