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.
Ethan Knowles—The groom, in his mid-twenties, Ethan is sure he wants to marry Julia. He’s just not sure about anything else, especially not what’s going on at his own wedding. He hasn’t been a part of the planning at all.
Julia Childless—The bride. She’s highly stressed out and sure that everyone’s out to get her. Surely, this is just down to paranoia. She’s accused Lauren of trying to poison her for heaven’s sake. She’s got to be a little bit crazy, right?
Timothy Knowles—The groom’s father. Surly and smells of sandalwood. He appears to be enduring his relationship with his wife rather than enjoying it.
Sarah-Lin Knowles—The groom’s mother. She’s heavily involved in the planning of the wedding and wants everything done her way. She’s never approved of her son’s choices, and absolutely despises Julia Childless.
Bella Masterson—One of the bridesmaids. She has platinum blonde hair and a propensity for crying. Soft-spoken, sweet, but with a bit of a bite.
Sasha Dewar—The maid-of-honor who wants everyone to know that she’s engaged, thank you very much. She’s got curly, brown hair and loves to be the center of attention.
Violet Walker—A guest at the Gossip Inn. She complains constantly about everything from the cats to the food to the dust on her bedroom mirror, even when there isn’t any. Consequently, very annoying. A star pitcher for a women’s baseball team.
