The ghost. Ashkenazi Jew or Sephardic Jew. Acerbic and dark. Has no filter, but does it matter? No one can hear her anyway. Still suffers from schizophrenia even though she’s dead. Knits.
The housekeeper. Italian American. Has a NY Bronx/Queens accent. Warm and diplomatic, but doesn’t take shit from people.
To play 17; sullen, acerbic teenager; Half WASP/half Ashkenazi or Sephardic Jew. Son of Clara and Philip, though Angela has been his surrogate mother since he was 3 or 4. Desperately wants out of this well-to-do, elitist suburb.
