https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xHo9cjnR8M&t=3s
Hunni's Coffee is about Suzy and her mother, Karamella, who both live in a small village in the countryside called "Windly Hollows."
They both have a grandmother named "Hunni" who owns a small coffee shop in the village called "Hunni's".
Hunni sadly passes away, but thankfully, an employee named Toby can give Karamella and her daughter the complete ownership of the coffee business and later, had the grand reopening of Hunni's legacy that brought joy to the residents of the village.

Original English version of Hunni's Coffee:
Your job is to translate the dialogue of Hunni's Coffee from English to French.
You also have complete control on how you want to adapt and localise the script.
(For this dub, i want you to localize the names of the characters, the name of the village where the story takes place in (Windly Hollows) with more French sounding names and overall localizing of the script to make it enjoyable for French speaking audiences.
(The coffee shop is owned by Suzy and Karamella's grandmother named "Hunni" who owns the shop named after herself.)
Once you completed the translated script, you must post it in the audition's comments as a PDF file please?

(1:33 - 1:35) Toby: What!? What happened to her?
(1:36 - 1:49) Toby: Oh god, how do I say this? Your grandmother came to work early this morning, then an hour later... She, she fell on the floor and wasn't breathing.

(2:08 - 2:16) The passing of my grandmother very much soiled the hearts of the residents in Windy Hollows... "sigh", including mine.
(2:17 - 2:22) Young Suzy: "Sniff" But mum, without Grandma around, what will happen with her coffee shop?
(2:23 - 2:37) Karamella: Well, I don't know about that, but I promise you- Sweetie, no matter what happens, no matter if things get rough, we will always find a way to resolve a certain problem.
(2:39 - 2:47) Adult Suzy: After a few days, Toby gave us a ring on the phone and told us to come to Hunni's coffee shop as he wanted to share some important news with my mother.
(2:48 - 2:51) Karamella: Hi, you must be Toby on the phone, is that right?
(2:52 - 2:56) Toby: Yes mam, that's me- And you must be Suzy, correct?
(2:57 - 3:04) Young Suzy: That's me, it's nice to meet you, sir. So, what is it you wanted to tell us about? (Suzy gets handed a key) What's this?
(3:05 - 3:17) Toby: Suzy, Karamella, you two now have complete ownership of Hunni's, aka, your grandmother's coffee shop that brought joy to the residents of Windly Hollows.
(3:16 - 3:19) Young Suzy: (Cute gasp) Really, oh thank you, thank you so much, kind sir!
(3:20 - 3:22) Karamella: That's so nice of you, Toby.
(3:22 - 3:23) Toby: Don't mention it.
(3:24 - 3:35) Adult Suzy: And so, with all the love and support from my mother as well as Toby, we were able to continue my grandmother's coffee shop and keep it running for the people of Windly Hollows to enjoy the delicious coffee.
(3:36 - 3:39) Karamella: Alright, sweetie, here's the next batch of orders for the customers.
(3:40 - 3:45) Toby: Suzy, these orders are for tables 7 and 6. Do you think you can handle that?
(3:46 - 3:50) Young Suzy (Playful pirate voice) Aye aye captain Toby, and especially aye aye to you, Captain Karamella.
(3:51 - 4:03) Adult Suzy: I may have moved away from Windly Hollows, but i made a promise to myself that, even in tough situations, i will not give up and i will find a way to get around any kind of situation i might get into.

Boissey en Forêt, le petit village ou je vivais avec ma mère quand j’étais petite.
Ahhhh, Chez Monique... Un petit café, adoré par les villageois, que possédait ma grand-mère
Même si j’ai maintenant déménagé de Boissey en forêt, je me suis fait la promesse que même dans les pires situations, je n’abandonnerais jamais et je trouverais le chemin pour traverser chaque obstacle sur mon chemin !
Young Léa/Jeune Léa is one of the main characters of Hunni's coffee.
She is a 14-year-old girl who lives with her mother, "Céline", in a small village in the countryside called Windly Hollows.
Both she and her mother are sweet, calm and kind people who refuse to give up, even in the most emotionally tough situations.
Léa has a grandmother who owns a small beloved coffee shop in the village. After the recent passing of her grandmother, she is emotionally distraught and has no clue what will happen with her grandma's coffee business.
Thankfully, with the help of an employee named Mathieu, she and her mother were able to receive complete ownership of their grandmother's coffee business, which eventually resulted in a grand reopening of the establishment.
