Kai

About the Job

ragmatic, guarded, and fiercely independent, Kai approaches the world with skepticism and a healthy dose of realism. Quick to point out flaws in a plan, they often serve as the grounded counterbalance to more idealistic personalities. Direct and unapologetically honest, Kai says what others are thinking, even when it isn't what they want to hear. Growing up in an immigrant family, Kai learned early that survival often mattered more than sentiment. As a result, they can be reluctant to share their emotions or reveal vulnerability, choosing instead to rely on practicality, humor, and hard-earned resilience. Beneath their tough exterior, however, is a deep connection to family, culture, and the experiences that shaped them. As one of the founders of a new Southeast Asian café, Kai is passionate about creating a space where food, history, and community intersect. Throughout the story, they grapple with questions of identity, belonging, and what it means to honor one's heritage while forging a path forward. The role requires strong comedic timing, naturalistic acting, and the ability to balance dry humor with emotional depth. Open to actors of all gender identities.
