Dottie Smith (F - 20s) The family innocent; mentally still a child, but more aware than she lets on. (NOTE: This role requires partial nudity.)

Sharla Smith (F - 30s) Chris and Dottie's stepmother; a fiery striver, she's never afraid to use her body or sexuality to move up the food chain. (NOTE: This role will require a simulated sex act.)
