#Rose: At 30 years old, Rose is Maggie's older sister by two years. Overweight, she has a reliable job at a prestigious law firm in Philadelphia where she is having an affair with a junior partner. She has a nondescript sense of style that is offset by a winning wit, but her self image and resentment of Maggie create real conflict for her. Producers are looking for an actress who is believable as a sister to Diaz’s Maggie.

# Ella Hirsh: Hirsh is the widowed grandmother of Maggie and Rose, from whom she’s been estranged for more than 20 years; she has no family other than Maggie and Rose. On the younger side of the other residents of her Florida retirement community at 70, she distracts herself with volunteer work and cultural activities.
