Yasmin
Beneath the Calm
About the Job
20 to 29 years old; Middle Eastern (Persian); woman. Shirin’s only child. She feels like a beautiful and fragile, moments away from buckling under her overbearing mother. Yasmin loves her mother, but she has spent years wilting so as to make sure Shirin never feels outshined by her. She’s daddy’s little girl, but both she and her father Mansour know that they enjoy life at Shirin’s allowance. Before she met Antony, Yasmin felt like she had been drowning, unable to authentically be the person her mother wants her to be. Known only to Mansour, she had even considered taking her own life at one point. But Antony is Yasmin’s breath of fresh air, representing the possibility of a life out from under her mother’s thumb. Without him, she doesn’t know what she would do.
