Characters Introduced In Season 1

Annie (Aidy Bryant): Hi, I’m Annie.

Character Introduction

First Noted In Season 1, Episode 1 “Annie”

Annie is a super sweet young woman who has been fat for nearly her entire life. However, between the teen years or when she became an adult, she went from that being one of many adjectives to the adjective. So, to compensate, she took the route of becoming friendly, demure, and putting up with people like Ryan so she can say she has someone or something.

However, it seems that Annie will be replaced with someone more shrill.

Additional Information About Annie

  • She has had weight issues since around the time she was in 4th grade and on top of her mom, Vera, trying to starve her, she mentioned being skinnier would mean more boys liking her.
  • Allegedly, according to Fran, Annie believed in Santa Claus until she was 16.
  • Formerly, she played the oboe.
