Sharp, observant, and quietly skeptical. She enters a high-end matchmaking agency with irony and disbelief, gradually finds herself seduced by its logic and promise of certainty, and finally experiences a moment of clarity that snaps her back to herself. Requires strong comedic timing, nuanced emotional shifts, and the ability to balance satire with vulnerability.
A polished senior Asian consultant at a luxury matchmaking agency. Charismatic, precise, and unsettlingly calm, she speaks in the language of success and certainty. Once a client herself, she genuinely believes in the system she now enforces. Requires authority, restraint, and the ability to let cracks show beneath perfection.
