Synopsis
If Sophie Bellizzi doesn’t get married to her cheating ex-boyfriend, she will lose her share of her
grandmother’s inheritance to her younger sister. In order to find a way out, she arranges to marry the
family’s handyman instead.
Please note: the age of the character indicates how old they have to look. The actor may be older or
younger – provided that they can look that age (or can convincingly be made to do so). All actors need a
good sense of comic timing.
