2 roles

Francesca (Franky)Female7-10 y.o.All ethnicities

Lead. A big tomboy and a snot-nosed brat. She wants to be exactly like her older brother and tries to mimic the way he acts and dresses. Because of this, she constantly gets on her brother’s nerves. She’s mischievous and knows how to use her charm to wiggle her way out of trouble. She’s curious and looks at the world with an open mind and heart.

GabeMale10-13 y.o.All ethnicities

Supporting. Smart, resourceful, and patient. He enjoys traditionally boyish activities and feels shame about being drawn to traditionally feminine activities as well. He feels a strong sense of responsibility for Franky, whether he likes it or not. Even when they fight, Gabe intentionally lets Franky win. He’s guarded and holds his cards close to his chest, both literally and metaphorically.
