Description
Maggie (23) is the older sister to Grace. She has taken care of her alcoholic mother and her younger sister for her whole life. Constantly faced with challenges she has learned to act fast and logically. She is viciously protective, intelligent, as well as extremely exhausted by the world around her. She blames herself for Grace’s reckless behaviour in getting pregnant. Maggie has been trying to separate herself from her family in the last year, but Frank, their dead dog, has brought her back into their chaos.

LeadGraceFemale 18 - 22 Years old
Description
Grace (19) is the younger sister of Maggie. She is fiercely optimistic and kind; she is comfortable living in the moment. She is also nine months pregnant with a baby girl. While she is still a teenager, motherhood gives her a place to put her warmth and love where she couldn't put it growing up. Grace feels abandoned by Maggie since she revealed her pregnancy and is eager to have her back in her and her baby’s life.

ActorMr. MarvinMale 65 - 80 Years old
Description
Mr. Marvin (76) is your local scary, grumpy, old man neighbour. He has lived in the same home for seventy years, and rents out the home across the street.. While on the outside he seems prickly, he has a real passion for gardening and seasonal flowers. He doesn’t hate dogs, he just hates dog poop in his yard. He doesn’t hate the young Maggie and Grace next door, he just hates how reckless their mother has been. A Ron Swanson type.

ActorJeanFemale 45 - 60 Years old
Description
Jean (56) is the mother of Maggie and Grace. She loves her daughters but her strength and hope for the world has almost completely disappeared. She abuses a bottle of wine daily leaving her world foggy each day. Compassion has also fizzled from her life and now that her daughters are older she believes they can take care of her now, as she has done her role, which depleted her for years. Her careless mixup of Frank’s medicine led to his untimely death.
