Olivia
Olivia (16): WHITE FEMALE, Dark Brown/brown hair Growing up in a volatile, single mother household, Olivia has perfected the art of walking on eggshells.

Olivia is consumed with fear and anxiety ever since finding out she was pregnant. She is scared of pregnancy, and having a baby, but most importantly how her mother Kristy will react.

Janet
Janet (Voice Only, 60’s): WHITE FEMALE All Janet ever wanted was to be a mother, but after experiencing the tribulations of life, she grew to resent her only daughter Kristy.

As her granddaughter Olivia grew older, her daughter Kristy refused to let Janet be a part of her life. Though barely mobile due to health issues and past injuries, Janet is adamant to remind Kristy daily how terrible she was, and how mad she still is. This results in Janet calling their house several times a day, leaving multiple messages regardless of an answer or reply.
