ILANA GOMEZ, 40s-50s, is a Latina woman married to Enrique, the mother of Yoli. Of Mexican / Puerto Rican descent. Wants the best for her daughter. Feels torn about balancing the pressures she and her family faced around cultural dynamics in an English-speaking world. Her grandmother was punished for speaking Spanish in school, and now Ilana carries the guilt of not being able to speak Spanish as an adult. Excellent comedic timing.
PEDRO, 30s, Latino of any race. Lives his life mostly in Spanish.
YOLI, 22, Latina woman, who identifies as Mexican/Puerto Rican/Cuban American. Proficient and enthusiastic Spanish speaker. She is the daughter of Ilana and Enrique. Revolutionary spirit, bucks conventions. Excellent comedic timing.
ENRIQUE GOMEZ, 50s, Cuban of Spanish descent. Fluent Spanish speaker; traditionalist, he is the father of Yoli, husband to Ilana. Trying to survive meeting his daughter's new boyfriend. Excellent comedic timing.
MARCOS CRUISE, 24. Yoli’s boyfriend, proficient Spanish speaker. His parents were both from outside of Boston; they did a semester abroad and fell in love with Mexico. Marcos’ mom changed her major to Español and dad remained a business major but finished his studies in Mexico City to be with her. They had Marcos there and later moved to Los Angeles when his dad got a job doing business relations with the Dodgers. He is a dual citizen but can’t run for President. Excellent comedic timing.
