Miguel Aka Michael

About the Job

Backstory: Eldest child, born in the U.S. to immigrant parents. Grew up under pressure to succeed and set an example for his younger sister. Over time, he distanced himself from his family’s struggles, focusing on building a stable career and assimilating into a world that didn’t ask about his roots. Professionally goes by “Michael.” Carries guilt for missing his father’s final moments. Married to Laura (American, late 20s) and expecting his first child. Personality: Intelligent, methodical, emotionally guarded. Avoids confrontation until unavoidable. Appearance: Clean-cut, neatly dressed, with tired eyes and controlled posture. Looks mid-20s to early 30s (must believably play both in flashback and present). Arc: Torn between pride and shame, he moves from detachment toward a vulnerable act of reconnection.
