DAWN (20s), the youngest of the waitresses. Thick glasses, hair parted 14 centimeters to the left - eccentric is the nice way to say she's slightly unusual, and not so slightly OCD. An odd duck. Should have excellent comedic timing. Must have an excellent pop/rock/folk voice.

Should have a strong pop/rock tenor that can navigate the musical style of Sara Bareilles with ease.

EARL (20s-30s, Caucasian), Jenna’s husband. Peaked in high school, handsome in a gruff way, but that face is clouded with broken dreams, drowned with cheap beer. Guitar playing a plus.
