Duties & Desires (M looking for two Fs)

[dreamster]

(Sometime in 1950s) - Fred's world was struck by lightning when his father suffered a paralytic attack. The carefree young man suddenly had several responsibilities on his young shoulders - taking care of his father and his father's bicycle business. Soon, under his father's guidance (from the bed), Fred got a good grasp of the business and the people.

One day, he discovered a letter in his father's office desk that changed his life. It was from a woman, who was clearly in an intimate relationship with his father. Fred went through all the contents of the office chest, and found out everything he could. His father had a mistress - for a long time now. She even had a daughter, almost his age. For a few nights, Fred couldn't sleep or eat or even face his father. He felt like crying every time he saw his mother, for she had been cheated by the man she'd been loving all these years and serving every second now.

The last letter from his father's mistress had spoken of some pending payments and hardships in their lives. As Fred kept thinking about it more and more, he felt it was his duty to take care of his father's loved ones, even though the relationship may be an illicit one. So the next day, Fred went to their home, posing as his father's helping hand, to tell them about the misfortune that has befallen his 'employer', and to tell them that he'd still be sending them money through Fred every month.

The story looks at how two relationships develop - the one between Fred and his father's mistress (he brings her money, helps her around - says his employer has instructed him - repairs her house and gets to know her side of the story more. He realizes just branding her as a 'mistress' would be very unjust) and the one between Fred and the mistress's daughter (he befriends her, she likes his company in her lonely life, they both hit it off well). Of course, soon the relationships get physical too. Fred is conflicted, but his love for the two women pulls him to them more and more.

Looking for two women to play the two central female characters in the story. Please PM me with your views on the character you'd like to play - her name, her nature, her backstory (if you have one in mind). Age-wise Fred can be 20 and the mistress's daughter can be 18. The mistress can be anything from 35 to 40. Also, if you feel the story can look at any character/event differently, all ideas are welcome :)
