Role description

[JANINE KELLER] 65+; any ethnicity. Retired Journeyman Plumber. This is how she met Kent, Dana & Dana's husband Chris (the other bowlers on her team). She is the captain of No 'F' in Strikes and rightfully named the team as such since strikes for them are few and far between. As the heart and soul of the group, Janine is a fountain of knowledge with a knack for being right and isn't shy about having the final say. A little bit temperamental, and very superstitious, her wittiness often leads her into laughing at her own jokes.
