Casting
Elizabeth Johnson
​
Elizabeth is long on focus and short on patience. MIT changed her from a quirky, fish-out-of-water introvert lacking confidence to a proud engineer wearing her introversion as armor. It isn’t that she can’t get along with people, she just doesn’t see the point.
Upon Elizabeth’s mother’s death, her grandmother whisked the eight-year-old away to a small southern town to start fresh. Growing up in Old Trap, NC, she was revered for her beauty and shunned for her neurodivergent brilliance and her ability to perfectly mimic others in pitch, tone, and mannerisms.
Grams
​
Elizabeth’s grandmother is a gregarious, God-fearing, retired chemical engineer who only sees the good in people--to a fault.
To make up for sins from her past, Grams is desperate to do her part to fix the world. When the anticipated funding for all her plans is revealed as an intricate conspiracy, she sees only one way out.
Dreama
​
Dreama has known Elizabeth since she was eight years old. Dreama is God-fearing, trusting of her fellow small-town kin, and loves to make clothes by hand. As grandmother to Elizabeth’s high school boyfriend, she has a special bond with Elizabeth and her unique talents. She once thought Grams’ “asset-holder investors’ group”, also known as “Bingo”, could make all her money problems go away. Then one day she realized God, Grams, GCR, nor the fake former president can save her. But Elizabeth might, and Dreama’s willing to release Grams’ dark past to do it.
Julia Slawinski
​
Neuro-advocacy has been Julia Slawinski’s north star since before Harvard Med. Fresh out of MIT, she noticed fellow grad Elizabeth Johnson scrutinizing tech auction gadgets at a Doug Flutie Foundation dinner. One question about Elizabeth’s sensory-aid prototype sparked an instant bond over adaptive design and outsider humor.
Months later, Elizabeth lamented the struggle to find a neurodivergent-friendly workplace, so Julia acted. She introduced her to her uncle Doug Haas, who runs a cutting-edge architecture firm hungry for disruptive thinkers. After one coffee and a stack of schematics, Doug hired Elizabeth on the spot—making Julia both partner and career catalyst.
