Cast:
– Bilal Baig as Sabi Mehboob: A first generation Pakistani-Canadian trying to navigate life as they embrace their non-binary identity and combat the cultural expectations that have been put upon them, all while grappling with the severe injuries that their friend and employer, Bessy, has suffered.
– Gray Powell as Paul Bauer: Sabi’s employer and husband to Bessy. He is a therapist who ironically has trouble noticing his own family’s needs and struggles as well as his own. Much like Sabi, he is left to walk on his own path of self discovery and exploration in the wake of his wife’s accident, often questioning how much he really knows about the lives of Bessy and their children.
– Kaya Kanashiro as Violet Kaneko-Bauer: Bessy and Paul’s daughter and oldest child. She is entering a stage of rebellion as her mother’s accident becomes increasingly more difficult to deal with emotionally.
– Aden Bedard as Henry Kaneko-Bauer: Bessy and Paul’s son and youngest child. He is a mostly quiet kid who spends more time glued to his devices than looking up at people’s faces.
– Amanda Cordner as 7ven: Sabi’s best friend and confidant. When the opportunity to move to Berlin for a job in the art world arises, they invite Sabi to join on this new adventure in the “queer capital of the world” and leave their lives behind. 7ven is always pushing Sabi to embrace their identity and focus on their own needs rather than the needs of others. They don’t always approve of how much Sabi’s nannying consumes their life, but is always there to lend a hand when asked.
– Grace Lynn Kung as Bessy Kaneko: Sabi’s employer and friend. An intellectual who feels constrained by the mold society imposes on a mother and a wife. Early in the series she has a biking accident which causes her to fall into a coma.
– Ellora Patnaik as Raffo Mehboob: Sabi and Aqsa’s mother. A Pakistani immigrant living on her own as her two grown children have long moved out and her husband lives overseas. Though he may not be physically present, her husband-and the cultural values he represents-looms over her as she tries to understand her children better and, in the process, understand herself.
– Supinder Wraich as Aqsa Mehboob: Sabi’s sister and roommate. Like her sibling, Aqsa tries to break away from her strict upbringing. She forms part of Sabi’s support system, though at times their views on navigating their family’s expectations and cultural beliefs differ.
– Gregory Ambrose Calderone as Lewis: Sabi’s love interest at the onset of the series. He attempts to maintain a relationship with them while simultaneously feeling conflicted/ashamed of his partner’s gender identity.
