Older male voice director and renowned voice actor (35) x eccentric, powerhouse actress who rules both film and television (28)

Do not base the voice actor on anyone in real life. There is no real-life inspiration.

Neither lead is a virgin; they have a relationship in the early part of the story.

This book has been labeled as having two non-virgin leads from the start. Please don't discuss whether they are virgins in the comments. Thank you.
