Seeking:
Bernard
Smart, funny man who is perhaps a little fussy. Not very good at being sly, but has a sharp mind and a quick wit. He is affable and charming, if not sexy.
Robert
Kind, not very good at lying and perhaps gets a bit too flustered under pressure. He is having an affair with Jacqueline, but is maybe not exactly cut out for the sneaking around and deception it requires.
Suzette
The cook. Quick, sassy and always ready to make a buck. She isn't afraid to dive into whatever the job requires and isn't ashamed to make sure she is paid for each additional task. She is not very good at playing the high society role, but what she lacks in experience she makes up in gusto.
