Storyline
A ‘Care-y Godmother’ turns insensitive comments aimed at caregivers into teachable moments.
Roles
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
LeadCare-y GodmotherFemale 50 - 75 Years old
Description
Funny, strong, wise and quick. Older but alpha. Can be witheringly sarcastic. Instantly takes control of any situation. She gets the whole care-giving thing because she's been there and lived it. Handles things with ‘care' - her way.


Role typeRoleGender & Age range
PrincipalAlyFemale 40 - 45 Years old
Description
Self-involved, urban, spoiled woman who talks a blue streak (and is also, at heart, a nice person). Head-to-toe high-end athleisure is her go-to.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
PrincipalSandraFemale 40 - 45 Years old
Description
Caregiver in distress - way too much on her plate. Burned out, dishevelled, frazzled, and at the end of her tether. But also funny. Smart.
