Storyline
When the Wi-Fi goes out during a visit to their grandmother, phone-obsessed sisters Sophia and Ava are forced to connect offline. Sophia must choose between answering a call from her crush or being present when her grandmother suddenly falls ill, discovering that real connection doesn’t require Wi-Fi.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Sophia | Female 14 - 17 Years old |
Description Sophia is an emotionally guarded teenager who lives through her phone and struggles to be present with the people around her. She is navigating new, heavy emotions while trying to understand what they mean and who she is. Over the course of the story, Sophia evolves from an irritable and distracted girl to a compassionate and self-aware person. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Ava | Female 10 - 13 Years old |
Description Ava is playful and curious. She uses her humour to connect with the people around her. She craves attention, often teasing Sophia to get a reaction. But, beneath her mischief is a deeply caring child who steps up when it matters most. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Gigi | Female 55 - 75 Years old |
Description Gigi is Ava's and Sophia's grandmother. She is warm, loving and grounded. She’s the kind of grandmother who shows up with cookies on a random Saturday and stands up for you in front of your parents, even when you might be in the wrong. Though she struggles to understand her granddaughters’ digital world, she simply wants to connect with them and rebuild the connection that has drifted as they have gotten older. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Actor | Wren | Female 29 - 40 Years old |
Description Wren is Ava’s and Sophia’s mother. Ambitious and career-driven, she often prioritizes work over time with her children. She, too, has fallen into the digital world, spending much of her time on her phone, working or scrolling, at the expense of meaningful connections with her family. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Actor | James | Male 29 - 45 Years old |
Description James is Ava’s and Sophia’s father and Gigi’s son. As the manager of a prestigious company, he spends most of his time working and is less involved in day-to-day parenting, often unsure how to handle conflicts between the girls or what to say. | ||
