STORYLINE: A grandmother’s peaceful day on her land is upended when two overeager salesmen arrive with an offer she wants nothing to do with.

[SAPHRONA] - 60s/70s, Female, Native American. A balanced blend of sweet and salty, Saphrona is a beloved Grandmother and the keeper of her ancestral land. Her traditional lifestyle and peaceful pace are a stark contrast to the world spinning around her. She’s often perceived as vulnerable, but in reality, her deep connection to her land and intuition make her keenly aware of her surroundings and others’ intentions. When her peaceful morning is interrupted by two overeager salesmen, she suspects they are up to more than meets the eye. She must protect her land and home – in a way that only she can. LEAD
