| Deck chair & table: Mum & Dad (Any gender, 33–38 years) This is a young family. Mum and Dad look to be in their mid to late 30’s, they are a friendly looking couple. Dad is eager and keen and always happy to get stuck into things, but in the best sense. His appearance can be a little awkward and unfinished, not due to lack of care but only because he focuses his attention on other things like his son’s homework. Mum is cheerful and see’s the sense of humour in everything. Please made note of any real couples, parent/child relations, siblings. Contract info: BSF: £350 BUYOUT: £5K |
| Deck chair & table: Brothers (Male, 7–9 years) Brothers are aged 8-9 and 7-8. The younger brother is a little clumsy but in a charming way. He really looks up to her brother and copies everything he does. While his brother isn’t afraid to be cheeky and playful, even if it gets him into a little trouble. Please made note of any real couples, parent/child relations, siblings. Contract info: BSF: £200 BUYOUT: £2k |

| Wallpaper & Bed: SISTERS (Female, 4–9 years) One sister looks 8/9 while the other looks closer to 3/4 (needs to be young enough to get away with drawing on a wall).

The younger sister is super playful and cheeky, she can tend to get lost in imagination, she is super creative and doodles on anything given the chance.
