Strongman for the loan agency taking advantage of Oscar. Loaning isn't always a lucrative business, so he keeps a second job as a cashier at the gas station

Oscar is a chronic procrastinator. He has a number of niche interests that always garner his attention rather than the important things at hand. When faced with the reality of the things he's put behind him, he is hasty to make decisions (often poor ones) to take care of the situation
Frequents the corner across the street, sporadically entering the gas station when he finally pockets enough cash for cheap snacks and beer. Recently hatched a plan that could bring in some quick money.
Single mother of three. The corner store is her go-to place to buy cigarettes and wine to unwind after long and loud days. She often gets her kids snacks as a treat.
