Key Quote: “It’s about two estranged sisters who have to go on an odyssey together to satisfy their mother’s gambling debts. It’s so weird to just say a sentence like that, because so much more than that happens, but that’s kind of what sets things off. The element that really attracted me was the sister dynamic. For one thing, I just haven’t seen a lot of comedies about sisters and the fact that at the center of this was two Asian-American sisters, made me think, ‘Oh, this will be really fun to explore.’ I felt like I had something I could really bring to it.” – Jessica Yu
