Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview... mom and teacher struggling to make ends meet. Her friends are more successful than her while Earn, the father of her child, can be an embarrassment. He’s a manager for her rapper cousin, which isn’t what you want to tell people in the city’s high society. It’s not that Van is a social climber – she just wants to give her daughter the best life possible.
Personality... fun-loving, passive-aggressive, and resourceful. You have to be smart to pay rent when your sometimes-boyfriend Earn only sometimes brings home cash. So when she smokes some weed with her friends before a drug test at work, Van cooks up a plan to smuggle her daughter’s urine to school. Earn isn’t the only one in the family who knows how to hustle.
