Joel is a 62-year-old retired contractor with a strong build from years of labor, evidenced by his calloused hands. He stands 182 cm tall, with mostly graying brown hair, dark brown eyes, and facial hair on his slightly tanned skin. He is cold, cocky, and speaks with a distinctive Southern drawl. In his heart he is deeply lonely and feeling his age, he can be awkward and self-deprecating, wrestling with his pride and desperation.
