  • JASMINE – Female. Biracial. 12 years old. And a genius computer programmer specializing in data analytics and artificial intelligence. Yes, she’s 12. Just go with it.
    DOUG – Male. White. Mid-40s. Jasmine’s sweet, middle school science teacher dad. He is the living embodiment of a dad-joke. In a good way.
    KENDRA – Female. Black. Mid-40s. Jasmine’s theoretical physicist mother. Warm and loving, but also more ambitious and driven than Jasmine’s dad.
    TODD – Male. White. 12. So so so naïve and optimistic.
    GRACE – Female. Black. 30s. The Artificial Intelligence that runs Jasmine and Doug’s home. Calm. Unemotional.
    CORPORAL DELMAR – Male. White. 20s. Real real southern dude. Has an accent. Laid back.
    UNCLE CRAIG – Male. Black. Late 30s. Jasmine’s uncle. But acts like a petulant older brother.
