Storyline
As ALISON navigates her relationship with younger boyfriend CHARLIE, she unexpectedly faces humiliation when he introduces her as a "good friend" to old crush, KIMMY. Stung by his betrayal, Alison begins to struggle with their age difference and confronts him, unraveling insecurities and battling societal norms, questioning the true nature of their connection. Can their love transcend ageist barriers, or will societal pressures tear them apart?
Roles
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
LeadKIMMYFemale 20 - 30 Years old
Description
A fun, free spirit with the kind of personality and essence that everyone is instantly attracted to. Her confidence can be somewhat overwhelming, but it’s never arrogant or ego-driven. She is who she is and doesn’t apologize for it, unless, of course, she mindlessly overstepped or offended – in which case she’d work fast to make things good. She’s a champion of love and a true romantic.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
LeadALISONFemale 40 - 50 Years old
Description
An elegant woman, Alison is blissfully happy with her life and content in relationship with her much younger boyfriend Charlie. Although their deep bond has always trumped the differences that come with their ages, Alison begins to feel insecure about it when Charlie introduces her to a younger woman as his friend, instead of his partner. This leads to an emotional spiral of self reflection that sees her questioning the strength and longevity of their future.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
LeadCHARLIEMale 20 - 30 Years old
Description
He’s not clueless but he lacks maturity when it comes to his relationships with Alison versus Kimmy. His actions aren’t ill-intentioned; we can only assume that he fibs to Alison about going to meet up with Kimmy because he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings– and to get some proposal advice on the downlow- but he knows better than to lie, and soon realizes that he should have handled the situation with honesty.
