24 years old. She presents a persona of innocence and weakness. She is skilled at playing the victim in public to gain sympathy, but privately she is a mistress, a manipulator, and a schemer who feigns pregnancy to secure a formal position. For her, relationships are merely a means to an end.

50 years old, Victor's mother. She is a snobbish and domineering woman who uses "family honor" as a weapon. She has small-minded cunning but no real wisdom or foresight.

Female, 70s - 80s, any ethnicity. Theodora is not a stereotypical grandmother figure. She is sharp, spirited, and has lived a life of love, adventure, and mistakes. Now, after losing her best friend, she faces a profound loneliness. Living in a society that prizes youth and productivity, she struggles to build new connections and finds herself drained of joy. When prescribed The Touch Program, she enters an unconventional treatment that blossoms into a meaningful friendship with Joy, her professional cuddlist. Theodora’s arc moves from disconnection to fleeting renewal, before she is confronted with technology’s hollow version of care. Personality Traits: Sharp, resilient, emotionally layered, quietly vulnerable yet witty. Intimacy Notes: Scenes of physical touch, including hugs, caressing, and bare back exposure (non-sexual).

Female, late 30s - early 50s, any ethnicity. Joy is a professional cuddlist — warm, empathetic, and skilled at making people feel seen. She radiates comfort and believes deeply in the healing power of her work. While her compassion is genuine, she also balances it with professionalism and respect for boundaries. For Theodora, she becomes both a guide and a rare source of authentic connection. Personality Traits: Grounded, empathetic, charismatic, emotionally intelligent, approachable. Intimacy Notes: Non-sexual physical intimacy required (hugging, caressing, hair stroking).

Male, 30s, any ethnicity. A man defined by routine and optimization. He trains, diets, and games with the same intensity, leaving little room for connection. When Theodora offers him cake, he brushes her off — a small but telling moment of rigidity and detachment. The Neighbour isn’t malicious, just closed-off, embodying the cold isolation of modern urban life.

Female, 30s, Eritrean. Performer must be partially fluent in Tigrinya. Selam is the eldest daughter of Eritrean refugees, the firstborn in a new country, raised between worlds. From an early age, she was tasked with adult responsibilities like translating for her parents, managing family logistics, parenting her younger siblings, and becoming the family’s symbol of success. She is the first to go to university, the first to achieve “stability,” and the one on whom the family’s hopes quietly rest but that responsibility came at a price. As the stoic, high-achiever, Selam learned to suppress her needs, compartmentalize her pain, and perform composure. And now, after the sudden death of her youngest sister, Betty, those lifelong repressed emotions have nowhere left to hide. Her grief, unprocessed and long-denied, is beginning to rupture her carefully curated self-image and threaten her fragile mental state. What appears as a haunting may actually be the emotional aftermath of a life spent surviving rather than feeling. Selam represents the emotional cost of being the “model” daughter, the immigrant child who carries generational survival on her back. Her journey is one of internal collapse and a reckoning with identity, grief, and the trauma of never being allowed to feel. Performer must be partially fluent in Tigrinya.

Male, 30s, Eritrean. Performer must be FULLY fluent in Tigrinya. Binyam is a quiet, haunted Eritrean man shaped by the journey to flee out of one of the world’s most closed-off countries. Born and raised in Eritrea where forced military conscription is indefinite and dissent is silenced, Binyam longed for freedom and illegally fled. His escape led him through a gauntlet of trauma through Sudan, Libya, smugglers, black-market labor, starvation, and boats that didn’t always reach the shore. He’s one of the few who made it to Canada alive. Now, Binyam is a survivor with a fractured sense of self. As a newcomer, he’s watched many of his friends, fellow refugees, take their own lives in a country that promised safety but was met with isolation. In Toronto, where the Eritrean community often celebrates success, upward mobility, and reputation, Binyam feels invisible. He doesn't fit the model of the assimilated newcomer. He doesn’t belong in the living world. Instead, he finds companionship among the dead, cleaning headstones, speaking to graves, and listening for the voices of those who’ve crossed over. Whether it's spiritual, psychological, or both, this connection has become his lifeline. He isn’t crazy, he’s displaced, grieving, and clinging to a reality where he still has purpose. But as his connection to the dead grows stronger, his hold on the living world grows weaker. Binyam is the embodiment of immigrant trauma that doesn’t get healed, a man surviving in the margins of both his culture and his mind. He is a mirror to Selam: where she suppresses grief in favor of survival, Binyam lives in grief because survival cost him everything else. Performer must be FULLY fluent in Tigrinya.
