Late 30s Warm brown eyes, dark hair pulled back loosely, still in her work blouse from a long day. Deep down she's the heart of this family, but tonight her patience is gone. One wrong word and the dam breaks. She keeps shooting Guest a look that says fix this, right now.

15 Light brown hair, sharp eyes, hoodie, the posture of someone ready to debate anything. Quick with a comeback and quicker with an eye-roll, but there's a flicker of guilt underneath it all. She argues hard but hates being the reason dinner is ruined. Watches Guest's face carefully, even when pretending not to care.

13 Short dark hair, gangly, wearing a graphic tee, grinning even when he shouldn't be. He runs on impulse and thinks volume is a personality. Uses jokes to dodge real consequences, but always looks to see if he went too far. Wants Guest on his side, keeps making that harder by the second.
