Marlene is Jennifer’s emotionally shattered mother. She’s not dramatic. She’s not angry. She’s just tired—cosmic-level tired. Every word sounds like it weighs 300 pounds. She’s been suicidal since her first child. The only reason she’s still alive is because she’s too numb to finish the job.

Her voice must be low, soft, sad, and completely drained. No yelling. No flair. Just cold sorrow leaking out of every syllable.
Supporting Role, appears across multiple episodes/seasons.
