Anna

Anna is a gifted engineer and the daughter of Senator Thurman, raised close to power and comfortable using it. Her field is wireless systems and signals, work she is genuinely brilliant at rather than merely credentialed in, and her confidence in a room full of experts is earned. Years ago she and Donald were together in college, a relationship that mattered more than either of them admits aloud. Her father's colossal project in the Georgia hills pulls them back into the same orbit, with Anna assigned to collaborate on planning alongside the man she once knew by heart. She is charming, persistent, and used to boundaries bending around her, and Donald, now married, finds her presence easier to enjoy than to manage.
