BREAKDOWN
Jessie
female; mid 30s. Married to a North Shore native; moved here (from Upper East Side) to raise her family. Educated, articulate, lovely, warm. From the Midwest and has that Midwestern ready-smile. Can bend towards anxiety, though. Doesn't like empty days on calendars, or being disliked. Works 90 hour weeks in the city as a corporate lawyer -- or did, until Allie was born. Now she's in yoga pants.
Lina
female; late 20s/ early 30s. From Long Beach (on South Shore of Long Island) and you can tell immediately -- she is very South Shore. Acrylic nails, big hoops, fluorescent yellow sneakers, Mets trucker hat on game days, huge Italian family. Failed out of community college, has a bad mouth, blasts Kanye from her car. But Lina is also fantastically winning. She's fun, funny and refreshingly genuine. Works at St. Francis Hospital.
Mitchell
male; Mid/late 30s, or slightly older. Adrienne's husband, works in investment capital. A math nerd who is amazing with numbers, not people. Serious, shrewd, sensitive. From Utica and scholarship-ed his way out of a tough home (and has that quality about him: of someone who works too hard, trying to fill a hole that has nothing to do with money). But becoming a father has changed him. He makes goofy faces now. He stares out windows. His sentences end in more question marks.
Adrienne
female; mid/late 30s. Mitchell's wife. Elegant, powerful, aloof, and slightly rock n roll. Has eyes that are cat-like and assessing. Beautiful. Looks like she speaks lots of languages, and does. Grew up in a penthouse on Central Park, not that she looks the part. Adrienne wears big rings, vintage leather jackets, Sally Hershberger haircuts, a bold lip. She could give you the best-ever guided tour of MoMA. Ferociously smart, she has never signed an e-mail with an x or an o. A jewelry designer. A very successful one.
