carissa was born into wealth as her parent's last chance at a biological child. to say they were disappointed that she was a girl would be an understatement.
her father was a neurosurgeon and her mother was a lawyer, so their jobs gave them the perfect excuse to spend as much time away from her as possible.
she was essentially raised by a series of nannies, all of whom would quit after having to deal with her parents.
carissa was sent away to a private boarding school as soon as she was old enough, attending the same school until she graduated.
while in school, carissa got amazing grades and was very involved in her school, all in an attempt to have her parents change their opinion about her.
carissa attended a semester of college in chicago before deciding it wasn't for her.
she moved back to atlanta and got her real estate certificate, using all of her people pleasing skills to excel at her job.
carissa was a natural. she was persuasive, funny, warm, and made a hell of a sales woman.
quickly made her way up the ladder of power, eventually getting her own billboards and advertisements.

carissa is currently working extremely hard at her job, she is a complete workaholic but can often be found enjoying wine after a long day at various different bars.

maybe one of her clients, someone who's looking for a new place.
a fwb, she definitely has quite a few at the moment. bonus points if they have feelings for her.
a cousin, childhood friend (also an atlanta native), family friend, any of those kind of connections!
someone she's on bad terms with for one reason or another.
a frenemy, they act like best friends together but talk so much shit behind each other's backs.
mutual crushes, carissa would be in denial about her feelings because she doesn't like to image herself in a committed relationship.
a wine tasting buddy. someone who loves wine just as much as she does and will go wine tasting with her.
