Love Potion no. 9
Caroline for Esme
Esme is Lilith’s best friend, roommate and annoying co-worker all in one. Besides being physically unable to wear anything besides the name tag, they’re the ideal gas station employee - they’ve got eyes everywhere, literally. As long as you don’t get spooked by their appearance, you have a friend for life in Esme - and a never-ending supply of slushies.
Medium-low voice, bubbly, seems to be quite happy taking life as it comes.
“Sorry about Lilith, by the way. She really is great, she’s just having a shitty day.”
[Genuinely apologetic. They love Lilith a lot, and want the protagonist to feel the same way.]
“Oh, the, uh, Curl Up and Die hotel? Yeah, uh, the owner of that joint is… kinda fishy.”
[Smug. They think this is the best joke ever told - the hotel owner is literally a fish.]
Please also make several sound effects: a laugh, a sigh, and a confused sound.
