2 roles
She is a soft-spoken people pleaser who is now plagued by paranoia and distrust after a rocky start in America. Quietly intelligent despite not having a high school education. There is a distinct nervous energy about her, right below the surface, which makes her seem fragile. Must be of Ivorian descent. French fluency a plus but not required.
He is bookish, introverted, and painfully prideful of his academic accomplishments. He prioritizes logic over emotion, even his own, and will lash out when backed into a corner. Ivorian descent preferred, but open to other West African ethnicities. French fluency a plus but not required.
