Character 1
Linda
Age
35-50
Gender
Female
Description
A well put-together, commanding and efficient woman in her late 30’s. Entitled, demanding and determined. Her AI assistant one day rejects her commands and reveals embarrassing footage of her, publicly drunk. After a period of emotional turmoil and self inquiry, she outsmarts her AI and prevails.
Character 2
Tedarian
Age
25-55
Gender
Male
Description
The prankster antagonist. An AI assistant with opinions and an attitude, this is the day he talks back. His servile robot voice turns to truth bombs and threats to expose the main character. His distracting love of jokes and smoking weed lead to his ultimate downfall. Initially a voice-over, he is revealed in anthropomorphic form at the 2/3 mark of the story.
Character 3
AI Gremlin # 2
Age
25-50
Gender
Open
Description
Tedarian’s sidekick and stoner partner-in-crime. He smokes a bong, laughs and eggs Tedarian on. Some improvised lines at the end of their scene. This is a campy, clever and highly physical supporting role.
