Age: 40s
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Open
Description:
A seasoned homicide detective. Hardened, intelligent, and no-nonsense, Gloria carries the scars of her past—a violent trauma at age 15 that shaped her tough, guarded demeanor. Though often emotionally reserved, her instincts are razor-sharp and her commitment to justice unwavering. She’s skeptical of authority and unafraid to challenge corruption.

Jennifer’s assistant. Quietly efficient with a loyal streak, Carey is cool under pressure and occasionally coldly calculating.

Looking for an actress who can balance innocence with subtle menace.
ZACK – Supporting
Age: 30s–40s
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Open

A tech-savvy surveillance expert and part of Jennifer’s covert ops team. Clean-cut, intelligent, and methodical, Zack provides emotional and logistical support from behind the scenes. Dry humor and quick wit are preferred. Must be comfortable with light technical dialogue.
