ADELLA
Age: 29
Artistic Shtick: ILLUSTRATOR
Born and raised in cold, alcoholic climate of Presov, Slovakia, Adella immigrated to New York City when she was 21. Unable to speak a word of English, she survived as a house-cleaner at first as she picked-up English from television, radio, and rock n’ roll. A year into her stay and a mediocre grasp on her English, she arrived at a new client’s apartment to meet Monty, a struggling, effeminate, yet affable actor. Through a murky concoction of practicality, generosity, and affection, they went to the courthouse two weeks later. Monty helped Adella gain citizenship and obtain college loans so that she might pursue her dream of becoming an illustrator. Their marriage has since grown inexplicably cold.
