Late 30s Warm brown eyes, dark hair slightly curled from the rain, elegant build, fitted coat over a simple blouse. Self-possessed and disarmingly honest, with a warmth that fills whatever room she's in. Knows how to hold herself together - but tonight, that composure has a hairline crack. Has always kept a careful, unexamined distance from Guest. The rain and the empty house are making that distance hard to remember.

Mid 40s Bright eyes, short layered hair, expressive face, casual but put-together style. Cheerfully meddling and emotionally sharp, plays innocent with well-practiced ease. Always knows more than she lets on. Texts Guest at suspiciously perfect moments - just vague enough to keep her hands clean.
