HARRIET (She/Her, Any ethnicity, mid 40s-mid 50s) – His chief of staff. Overwhelmed. Overworked. Constantly putting out fires.
JEAN – (She/Her, Any ethnicity, mid 40s-mid 50s) His press secretary. Harriet’s partner-in-crime. Bernadette’s ex-girlfriend. Cut-throat.
STEPHANIE – (She/Her, Any ethnicity, mid 30s-mid 40s) His secretary. Fears she’s losing her job to Dusty. Takes drugs for the first time when crisis hits. Not a good idea.
DUSTY (She/Her, Any ethnicity, any age) – His dalliance. Carefree. Seeks pleasure. An unexpected constant in this crisis.
BERNADETTE (She/Her, White, 40s-50s) – His sister. Edgy. Knows her way around a crisis. Seen and done it all and proud of it. Jean’s ex-girlfriend. Doesn’t get along with her siter-in-law. Looking for a pardon from her big brother (pretty much says it all).
CHRIS (She/Her, Black, 20s-40s) – A journalist. Knows there’s dirt on POTUS trying her best to dig it up.
MARGARET (She/Her, Black, 50s) – His wife. The First Lady. A diva. More Mariah Carey than Michelle Obama. She commands every room she walks into.

CASSIE (She/Her, Any ethnicity, early 20s to early 30s)—The new housemaid, a village girl, an orphan who came from less than nothing. The opportunity to work at Pemberley means security she has never had, and she takes this job very seriously. She is sometimes maybe too eager and a bit headstrong.
