Main characters

Liza Miller

A 40-year old suddenly single mother who tries to get back into the working world, only to find it’s nearly impossible to start at the bottom at her age. When a chance encounter with the sexy Josh, a young tattoo artist, convinces her that she looks younger than she is, Liza tries to pass herself off as 26 – with the help of a makeover, courtesy of her best friend Maggie. Armed with new confidence, she lands a job as an assistant to the temperamental Diana at Empirical Press, and teams up with her new 20-something co-worker Kelsey to make it the career of her dreams. Now she just has to make sure no one discovers her secret.

Kelsey Peters

Kelsey Peters is a strong and ambitious young book editor who takes Liza under her wing when she starts working at Empirical Press. Kelsey has no idea that Liza is 40, posing as a 26-year old. She has a boyfriend named Thad, but she cheated on him with the handsome Swedish writer Anton Bjornberg. She lives with Lauren and her parents.

Maggie

Maggie is a 40-something lesbian artist, who is Liza's roommate and closest friend. She is initially the only one to know Liza's secret. When Josh, a young guy at a bar, thinks Liza is in her twenties instead of her forties, Maggie convinces her to pose as a 26-year old in order to reboot her career – and her love life.

Diana Trout

Diana Trout aka "Trout Pout," is the temperamental head of marketing at the publishing house where Liza just got a job by pretending to be 26 years old – 14 years younger than she actually is. Diana always says that she is 41 years old, but is actually 43 at the start of the series. She has a strong romantic interest in Charles, but he doesn't reciprocate.

When she doesn’t dissuade him from that notion, Liza decides to take the chance to reboot her career – and her love life – as a 26-year old. They begin dating but break up at one point because she catches him going to bed with his ex-girlfriend, but they fix things. Josh hates reading, but he reads Japanese manga occasionally. He never finished high school. Josh lives in Corent with his two friends Gabe and Roman who are both video game addicts. He is also a musician. He learns Liza's secret at the end of Season 1. After some time to think, he decides his feelings for her are still strong and he wants to continue their relationship.
