A deeply empathetic, soft-spoken woman who constantly puts others before herself. Wears her exhaustion quietly. Expressive eyes, subtle emotional range, able to portray burnout, internal conflict, and quiet empowerment. Must be strong with silent acting and emotional scenes.

Energetic, loud, inconsiderate, pushes work onto Layla. A “friendly mean girl.” Actor should show confidence, entitlement, and micro-aggressive behavior with a smile.

Direct, task-focused, somewhat oblivious to Layla’s workload. Professional and authoritative.

Warm, grounding, emotionally intelligent. A supportive friend who finally helps Layla confront her pattern. Soft energy, compassionate presence.

Background actors who bring life to the office — chatting, laughing, interacting. Need basic improv energy.

Soft, friendly vibe. Small interaction with Layla.

Extras to fill the background environment.
