Charlie Smith (Mission)—An ex-spy, Charlie’s lives and works in her grandmother’s inn in Gossip, Texas, as a server, maid, and assistant. With her particular set of skills and spunky attitude, she’s become Gossip’s “fixer” thanks to her previous involvement in solving murder mysteries.
Georgina Franklin (Mission)—Charlie’s super-spy grandmother who raised her. Georgina (or Gamma, as Charlie calls her) is the most decorated spy in the history of the NSIB. She’s retired, but still as smart and spry as ever.
Lauren Harris—The happy-go-lucky chef at the Gossip Inn. A master baker, she’s always got delicious cupcakes prepared for the inn’s lunches and dinners. She’s jolly, with bright red hair she wears in pigtails.
Cocoa Puff—Georgina’s chocolate brown cat. He’s friendly as can be with people he trusts. Often sleeps on Charlie’s bed and accompanies her around the inn, helping her dust the various trinkets and tables.
Sunlight—Charlie’s newly adopted cat and co-sleuth. A ginger kitty with an adventurous spirit. He loves to get up to mischief in the inn and always has Charlie’s back.
Jessie Belle-Blue—Jessie is Georgina’s worst nightmare. As the owner of the local cattery and now, a guesthouse, she hates the fact that Georgina has opened a kitten foster center in direct competition. Will do whatever it takes to come out on top.
Detective Aaron Goode—The new tough detective in town. He’s handsome, with dark hair, a strong jawline, and unflinching determination to get to the bottom of things. He doesn’t appreciate interference.
