Sarah

Age: 27

Sarah was born in Queens, and raised by immigrant parents who struggled to make ends meet. Her mom has always been a huge influence in her life, and taught her to be the “ideal” Taiwanese American child. She seemingly has her life together, she has her MPA degree, a political canvassing job, and lives with her gorgeous fiance, David whom her mom set her up with. When Sarah finds David cheating on her with another man, she’s heartbroken and embarrassed. She’s afraid to lose face amongst her family, and struggles to untangle the adulting rules her mother has taught her. She tries to improve her community as a political canvasser, and searches for another “mother approved” Asian American boyfriend until both aspects of her life backfire. Ultimately she’s forced to look deeper into herself, and understand who she truly is away from her mother’s culture.
