KAI (ENGINEER): ROLE FILLED
Male Presenting
Appearing 25-30 Years Old
Asian (open to all Asian Ethnicities)

Known for his unapologetic, witty commentary, he carries this same "main character" energy into the office.

KENDALL (SALES LEAD): ROLE FILLED
Female Presenting
Appearing 30-39 Years Old
White
Kendall is a polished, high-performing Sales Lead who navigates the corporate landscape with a blend of sharp intelligence and "work bestie energy." She is charismatic, optimistic, and deeply collaborative, traits that make her a great team player but currently serve as her greatest vulnerability. She’s Someone the room naturally trusts until we see how that trust can be weaponized.
This Character will have a lot of dialogue, so actors must be comfortable with heavy dialogue. A teleprompter can be available as needed.
