About the Job
AMARA SAINT-CLAIR (Mixed Irish–African American Woman, 36) Neighborhood: East Flatbush, Brooklyn She is clearly female, mid-30s, emotionally exhausted, and carrying a deep, inherited emotional wound that shapes the character’s voice, posture, humor, and overall presence while in Halyte’s cab. Profession: Nail Technician at a Caribbean-owned salon in East Flatbush Energy: Exhausted, emotionally drained, kind-hearted but spiritually depleted. She speaks softly at first, then floods with emotion once she senses safety. She is “functioning,” but not living. Amara was adopted as an infant by an older Irish-American couple from Long Island who desperately wanted a child but struggled with health issues. Her adoptive mother followed a psychic’s advice to attend a mysterious “spiritual meeting” in a warehouse. At that meeting, an Italian- Polish woman confessed she was pregnant by a Black man and feared the fallout from her husband and extended family. She wanted to give up the baby discreetly. Amara was that baby. Her biological mother told her entire family that the baby she was carrying died a stillborn child so they would grieve and close the chapter without ever knowing the truth. Because of this lie, Amara was born into secrecy rather than celebration. Growing Up Her adoptive parents were loving but emotionally private. They protected her, raised her well, and always reminded her she was wanted. But Amara always felt a strange ache fora sense of “floating between worlds.” No one who looked like her. No one who shared her features. No cultural anchoring. East Flatbush became her chosen home because it felt warm, expressive, loud the opposite of what she grew up with. She chose nail artistry because beauty work allowed her to hear women’s stories and temporarily escape her own.
