Supporting. A warm, steady social worker in her thirties to fifties, Hannah is the first person to truly see Temidayo's humanity. She offers compassion, practical support and a safe path forward, becoming a turning point in Temidayo's journey. Hannah is a grounded, quietly moving role for an actor who can make simple human decency feel like the relief it's meant to be.
Antagonist. A composed, soft-spoken man in his forties or fifties who has built a comfortable, well-regarded life alongside his wife Anita through their standing in the local Christian fellowship. Frank is a master of subtle control -never raising his voice, always polite, and often appearing caring and reasonable.
Antagonist. A gentle-faced, forty-something woman from the Community Fellowship who presents herself as a beacon of Christian charity. Driven by a desperate, unfulfilled longing for a child and unable to afford expensive medical procedures, Anita hides a deeply manipulative agenda behind her warm smiles.
Supporting. A weathered, sixty-something Black woman who has lived on the Canadian streets for years, seeking refuge in a makeshift alleyway tent. Hidden behind her gruff exterior and raspy voice is a profound, tragic wisdom born from escaping an abusive marriage that claimed the lives of her children. Mama Rose becomes Temidayo's unexpected savior, teaching her how to navigate homelessness with dignity.
