3 roles

IleenFemale40-50 y.o.All ethnicities

The office manager. She practically worships Dr. Williams, and tries to please him as much as possible. She becomes increasingly exasperated by Jaclyn's office antics while trying to keep the peace and do her job. She's a people pleaser driven to the point of quitting her job.

Dr. WilliamsMale30-40 y.o.All ethnicities

A surgical doctor. A bit narcissistic, he feels uncomfortable with Jaclyn in the office, and manipulates Ileen into finding a reason to fire Jaclyn.

RoseFemale50-60 y.o.All ethnicities

Dr. Williams' patient who frequently visits the office. She is a bit absent-minded and oblivious to her own racism.
