Dirty Little Secrets (Sims 4 Mini-Series) Mystery/Drama
Mabintad for Jo Lavin
Age: 20s
Race: African-American mixed with Caucasian
Voice Range: Mid
Character: Headstrong and usually right, she is both classy and sassy, but she decides to hold back on the sass most of the time, as “it’s not really lady-like.” She was raised a certain way – keep your chin up at all times, always be better than the rest, and you’ll be just fine. She doesn’t talk about her feelings, her own problems are only hers and nobody else’s. However, she realizes how much her family are controlling her life, and wants to take things in her own hands. She wants to be independent.
MATTHEW: People saw you with her. You know what they say about her, right?
JO: A lot of people say a lot of things, Matthew, it’s not that big of a deal.
MATTHEW: But it is. (then) I don’t want you talking to her anymore.
JO: I’ll do what I want.
MATTHEW: The Weatherfords are trouble, Jo. I don’t want our family to suffer because of them.
JO: Won’t you relax? They’re not bad people.
Jo SCOFFS.
JO: You’re ridiculous.
MATTHEW: I’M ridiculous?
JO: Yes! You’re here trying to CONTROL who I talk to, but when I try to intervene in YOUR life, I should go screw myself!
MATTHEW: When did I say that?!
JO: You don’t need to SAY it, I LIVE with it. ALL day, every day, I feel like you -- you’re suffocating me --
MATTHEW: That’s YOUR problem, Jo!
Jo SIGHS.
JO: What are we going to do?
FRAN: I don’t know. Wait it out?
JO: Wait until what? She shoots herself in the head?
FRAN: (chuckle) Like father like daughter.
JO: (scoff) Honestly --
FRAN: I had to, I’m sorry.
