David is Kate’s supportive husband—warm, caring, and funny.

PREM Rate: 180$/day Location: Hamilton and Toronto Man; 50 to 60 years old; South Asian. The hardworking, often distracted father of Jen. As a billionaire steel magnate, he does care about appearances, but not quite as much as his wife. He loves his family very much and will do whatever it takes to keep them happy -- especially his wife. He is always followed by his Executive Assistant, a shark who is ever-circling, waiting for his chance to steal Jen's place as the successor of Prem's business. He's usually quite quiet and matter of fact, a man of few words and little emotion. Jen’s parents (Prem and Maya) aren’t bad people; they just have very strong, narrow views about how things should be done. If it were up to them, she’d be running her father’s business and already be married to the handsome Indian boy they tried to set her up with after college, with children on the way. They are vibrant, fun-loving people at heart, but they are desperate for their daughter to have the “good life” they envisioned for her – the one that would have made their parents proud. But this has led them to be overbearing at times, and their classist prejudices threaten to get in the way of their daughter living her dreams... SUPPORTING Sides attached. Please include a slate with your name, height, union status and location.

Jack has a deep fascination with nature, particularly birds, and is a talented painter. Intelligent, patient, and compassionate, he has been a wheelchair user since a young age.

Emma is clever, adventurous, and funny. As Jack’s best and only close friend, she deeply values their friendship and cares for him. She is determined to make their adventure together special, planning the route to the waterfall and helping Jack along the way. However, throughout their journey, Emma carries a secret she struggles to tell Jack.

Jack’s mother and a single parent who has spent years doing everything she can to support her son while still allowing him to live like a typical teenager. When Jack suggests returning to the waterfall, she is strongly against the idea. Beneath her resistance, however, is a deep fear of failing to protect her son. The waterfall is tied to the accident that changed Jack’s life, and Sienna worries that returning there will force her to confront the possibility that she cannot always keep him safe.

Young Jack is a playful and curious boy who, much like his older self, is fascinated by nature and the world around him.

Emma’s father is a caring and supportive parent who encourages her to be honest with Jack about the secret she has been keeping.

Derek once dreamed of running for mayor and becoming an important figure in the city. That ambition ended when he was disqualified from running for office and barred from ever seeking the position again.

Chance is warm, sociable, and easygoing, but also undisciplined, drifting through life without much structure or direction. Though he wants more for himself, his ability to get by, along with the patience and support he receives from others, has made him comfortable putting off the changes he knows he needs to make. Coming from a family with a history of alcohol abuse, Chance grew up resenting his abusive, alcoholic father, who eventually walked out on him. He believes that his awareness of that history, along with the resentment he carries toward his father, safeguards him from repeating the same mistakes. That belief allows Chance to drink without seeing himself as someone with a problem. Over time, however, he is forced to confront the possibility that the habits he always believed were under control may already have a hold on him.

A sharp, streetwise mechanic with easy charm, a gambling streak, and the kind of confidence that makes every risk feel manageable. Bo always believed he was meant for more. A naturally successful gambler, he developed an early confidence in his ability to take risks and come out ahead. He eventually made enough money to finally start the business he had spent years dreaming about. Then one bad night wiped it all out. Bo placed a large sports bet on a heavy favourite he was convinced would win. When the favourite lost, Bo took the rest to a casino and chased the loss until there was nothing left. By morning, the money was gone, his chance to start the business was gone, and so was the version of himself he thought he was becoming. Today, Bo works independently as a mechanic out of his garage, giving him some of the freedom he always wanted, but none of the success he imagined for himself. When Chance brings him an opportunity involving millions of dollars, the promise of easy money speaks directly to the part of Bo still searching for a shortcut back to the life he believes he should have had.

Daphnée is polished, image conscious, and somewhat snobbish, placing a great deal of value on education, ambition, and how she is perceived by others. She has a clear idea of the kind of life she wants and the kind of person she believes fits into it. Chance complicates those ideas. Though she is immediately drawn to him, his irresponsibility, unreliability, and lack of direction conflict with the standards she has built around herself. Initially, Daphnée tried to dismiss the attraction, but the more she resisted it, the more invested she became. Without meaning to, Chance unsettles the composure Daphnée works hard to maintain and brings out a more spontaneous, uninhibited side of her. Her feelings for him force her to reconsider the image she has built of herself and what she thought she wanted.

Growing up, Wanda lived in the shadow of her sister, the family favourite, who received the attention and affection Wanda wanted. As she got older, Wanda began searching for that missing affection in romantic relationships. Wanda’s caring and well mannered nature has a way of making people feel comfortable and completely seen. She listens closely, speaks gently, and gives others her full attention. That warmth is genuine, but it also makes it easy for her to disarm people and draw them toward her. For Wanda, the beginning of a relationship is intoxicating. She craves the pursuit, the attention, and especially the moment she knows she has become important to someone. But once their affection feels secure, the feeling begins to fade. What briefly filled the emptiness inside her becomes ordinary, and the void returns. Rather than sit with that emptiness, Wanda moves on in search of the feeling again. She is less addicted to relationships than to the thrill of being desired, pursued, and finally chosen.

Nicole is Derek’s outspoken, no-nonsense wife. She speaks to him with the familiarity of someone who has long since stopped being impressed by his status, connections, or commanding presence. Where others may defer to Derek, Nicole does not. She expects him to show up as a husband and father, not as the businessman who can simply send someone else to handle a problem. Her bluntness can be demanding, but beneath it is a clear expectation that Derek take responsibility for the life they have built together.
