Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | MAYA REED | Female 20 - 30 Years old |
Description MAYA REED (Lead, Female, late 20s–mid 30s)A quietly fierce woman in the middle of medical treatment whose life implodes in a single afternoon. Maya is stunned, humiliated, and literally left on the sidewalk with a broken suitcase—then slowly reclaims her power after a lottery win puts her future back in her hands. A deeply emotional, layered role with subtle strength and a huge internal arc. Must convey: vulnerability, quiet resilience, shock, grief, and a slow-building core of steel. Wardrobe: Hospital-day casual (leggings, loose tops), simple workwear, cozy loungewear, later elevated but grounded “new chapter” looks. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | ERIC REED | Male 30 - 40 Years old |
Description ERIC REED (Supporting, Male, 30s)Maya’s polished, image-hungry husband who cares more about appearances than vows. Eric kicks her out mid-treatment with a wad of cash and a deadline, then reappears when the lottery win hits, suddenly full of apologies and entitlement. A great role for an actor who can play charming, cruel, and desperate—often in the same scene. Must convey: weaponized charm, cold cruelty, entitlement, and rattled ego when the power shifts. Wardrobe: Business-casual/upper-middle-class (dress shirts, slacks, smart casual jackets). | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | RILEY HART | Female 30 - 40 Years old |
Description RILEY HART (Supporting, Female, 30s)A warm, wry widow and Airbnb host who finds Maya on the sidewalk and offers her a couch, tea, and a soft landing. Riley is living with active grief for her late husband but refuses bitterness; she becomes Maya’s anchor and co-creator of The Nate Project, a shelter and medical-debt fund in his honor. Must convey: lived-in grief, kindness, humor, and quiet strength; feels like instant “chosen family.” Wardrobe: Cozy, practical (jeans, sweaters, cardigans, house slippers), with a lived-in, homey feel. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | LILY CARTER | Female 30 - 40 Years old |
Description LILY CARTER (Supporting, Female, 30s–40s)A razor-calm attorney who believes in timestamps over tears. Lily listens, takes notes, and quietly turns Maya’s story of abandonment into legal leverage. She’s not showy; her power is in stillness and precision. Must convey: grounded authority, empathy under control, intelligence, and strategic calm. Wardrobe: Simple, professional law-office attire (blouses, blazers, tailored pants or skirt). | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | ERIC'S MISTRESS | Female 20 - 30 Years old |
Description ERIC’S MISTRESS (Supporting, Female, 20s–30s)Initially seen as the “other woman” who helps push Maya out, but by the stinger we see another side: pregnant, scared, and holding an envelope for The Nate Project. A compact but powerful role that moves from smug complicity to raw fear and regret. Must convey: early arrogance, pettiness, and later genuine fear and vulnerability. Wardrobe: Trendy casual (leggings/jeans, fitted tops, designer knock-offs); later, more subdued, stressed look. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | MAYA'S BOSS | All 30 - 50 Years old |
Description MAYA’S BOSS / HR (Any Gender, 30s–50s)Voice or brief on-camera role delivering the “we have to let you go” call. Represents corporate coldness and the institutional side of Maya’s abandonment. Must convey: professional detachment, subtle discomfort, and corporate spin. Wardrobe: Office attire if on camera (button-down/blouse, headset, simple background). | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | LOTTERY ANNOUNCER | All 20 - 60 Years old |
Description LOTTERY CLERK / ANNOUNCER (Any Gender, 20s–60s)A small but pivotal role landing the win moment—either at the counter or via broadcast. Must convey: everyday friendliness or polished broadcast ease; clear diction and presence. Wardrobe: Convenience-store uniform or simple “on-air” look, depending on final blocking. | ||
