MEET THE CHARACTERS
| JONAH IRBY Ella’s biological father, but not her legal guardian. Recently injured and still a bit shell-shocked. |
| GERALDINE IRBY Jonah’s grandmother and Ella’s great-grandmother and legal guardian. Accustomed to holding things together. |
| ELLA IRBY 8-years-old. Jonah’s daughter. Wise beyond her years. |
| SAM YATES Ella’s ballet teacher. A bit goofy. Stronger than he looks. |
| RUBEN TORRES Jonah’s ex-boyfriend. The kind of guy you don’t say ‘no’ to. |
