DEVALE ELLIS will play ZAC
Zac is a working-class, blue-collar guy that works at the airport. He has high hopes and dreams but seems to feel unworthy of the women he dates.

BRIAN JORDAN JR. will play MAURICE

KEVIN WALTON will play AARON Carter

He is genuinely looking for love, for a connection and lets Sabrina know that he’s been wanting to ask her out for a long time. He is not bound by rules of masculinity. He defines himself and doesn’t let others do it for him.
