Seeking:
Abby:
(28 years old, American, Caucasian) Bright, vulnerable, and maybe a little neurotic. Big-hearted but occasionally jagged. Still recovering from the death of her mother, and still figuring out how to find purpose for her many gifts.
Zack:
(28, American, Caucasian) A bright and apparently eminently capable guy and husband with a dark side and low level marijuana dependency. He is deeply loving and that occasionally verges on controlling.
Didier:
(25, French-Senegalese) A landlord. A really nice and understanding guy who does not appreciate being taken advantage of. A family man and hard worker, upstanding, and friendly but boundaried.
Samina:
(25, French- Senegalese) Fierce and fiercely loyal mama bear. Tells it like it is when no one else will. A commanding, almost haughty presence.
