29 roles
22. Pretty, fiercely smart, unwilling to accept defeat without a fight, determined to create a home and family — the kind she did not have growing up — for her infant son.
Jazmine’s neighbor in the shelter where they live. In her home country, Yara has a degree in sociology. Here, she finds herself without. Without close family, without her husband who is young, and handsome, but also mysteriously absent, and without resources.
Another neighbor from the shelter. The model resident. Well liked and respected by the other new moms and the shelter staff alike. Follows all rules as that seems to promise the reward of good things to come, until…
Another shelter mom. Quiet and distant; rage, misplaced.
A shelter mom. Brooding, angry.
Jazmine’s mom. Well, mother. Or, if we are being honest, the woman who gave birth to Jazmine and raised her, but doesn’t seem to have much use for her now that she can no longer claim Jazmine’s support checks.
Jazmine’s dad. Full of bravado. A charmer. As much as he’s charmed his youngest daughter, a Daddy’s girl, he is distant, out of reach, and if he can help it, out of sight.
A dream. An aspiring rapper. Jazmine’s baby-daddy. The promise of him is just as smooth, and maybe just as out of reach, as Dominic’s.
The shelter’s director. An enforcer. But is growing weary of the task.
A handsome medical resident in the ER.
A corner store clerk.
