Agnes

About the Job

AGNES (Estate Manager, Former Nanny) Role Description Agnes is the long-suffering, steel-spined, endlessly capable estate manager of the Laine family. Once Tabatha’s nanny and the only adult who could control her plasma-fueled childhood tantrums, Agnes has evolved into the quiet commander of the mansion. She runs the estate with military precision, refined grace, and a dry wit sharpened by decades of Laine-family chaos. She is dignified, elegant, unflappable, and surprisingly formidable. Even the most powerful aunts step aside when Agnes enters a room. Sorority girls tremble. Contractors obey. Staff adore her. She is the backbone of the household and the only person Tabatha trusts without question. Agnes is not comedic by intention. Her humor comes from her understatement, her immaculate delivery of brutal truths, and her serene ability to restore order while surrounded by literal explosions. She must feel like a grounded emotional anchor within a hurricane of high-society absurdity. This is a prestige supporting role that requires presence, intelligence, warmth, and impeccable timing.
