LULU (she/her, any race/ethnicity, 18)
Marianne’s best friend, experienced — starts to catfish her boyfriend Willis after finding out he’s on a dating app. She can be a bit cruel but is easily hurt. She's got a secret tender heart.
HARRIET (she/her/they, any race/ethnicity, 18)

BENNY (he/him, any race/ethnicity, 40-ish)
Marianne's Dad. A professor at the University, teaches technical writing. Recently divorced. He's sweet, but has major trust issues. He's only ever been with Anna, Marianne's Mom. He would never word it like this himself, but he's always felt kind of trapped, and now he's free for the first time.
ANNA (she/her, any race/ethnicity, 40-ish)
Marianne's Mom. She carries an immense guilt with her for manipulating her husband when they were just teenagers. She is now hoping to make things right in their lives.
