Alyssa Schuyler is an intelligent but somewhat naïve & too-trusting 19 year old girl from a family rich in wealth but poor in everything that matters. Her parents have been divorced a long time and she idolizes her mostly absent father, a morally bankrupt attorney for the rich & powerful (as long as they’re men). She struggles to maintain a non-adversarial relationship with her mother, an aging debutante who’s always trying to empower (or force?) Alyssa to pursue education and personal development beyond just becoming the kind of future wife her father would approve of.

Recently, Alyssa ran into a little bit of trouble and her father discovered the discarded Plan B packaging in her bedroom trash that she didn’t know he paid the housekeeper to go through daily. Daddy kicked her out, and with nowhere else to go, Alyssa finally succumbed to her mother’s wishes. With the alimony payments from Alyssa’s father (which she purposely never married in order to continue receiving), her mother has offered to pay full tuition at nearby (but not too near) Columtreal University…provided Alyssa can cover her own living expenses. This test is proving to be a tall order, as she’s far more spoiled than she’d care to admit. Will she ever learn to take care of herself?

The first thing you would notice about her is she seems like an easy mark, and she’s probably staring at her iPhone and/or daydreaming about being in a romantic musical. Feel free to take advantage of her lack of street smarts, anytime & anywhere!
