Nia Barnes
Nia is the daughter of a newly appointed president at the local university (the first African American dean in the university’s history). While walking on the grounds, Nia is confronted by a woman who assumes (incorrectly) that Nia has committed a crime. While Nia knows that this sort of thing happens, this is the first time it has happened to her, and she doesn’t know what to do.
Samir Yousef
Samir lives in Grandpa and Amy’s old apartment above the bookstore. His family immigrated to America as Syrian refugees. The struggles Samir has already endured in his young life have made him serious, contemplative, and mature beyond his years. His parents work full-time jobs, which means he is left with a lot of responsibilities, including occasionally taking care of his sibling.
Charli Allen
Charli is a quirky aspiring magician who lacks self-esteem and is trying to figure out her place in this world. She is part of a middle-class family who own a painting business. Her sister, who has been out of the house studying at university, has come back home, a shift that has changed the family dynamic and relegated Charli to the smaller bedroom and “baby” status again.
