Age: 44

Background:

Calvin is a handyman, AV tech, part-time DJ, and full-time steady presence. He and Tameka have been together since college. He was an IT guy once, but he walked away from the grind years ago. Now he does odd jobs, side projects, and lends muscle and tech support to Tameka’s visions.

Personality:

• Laid-back and dependable
• Technically skilled (sound systems, lighting, carpentry, even low-level coding)
• Protective of his family — a little cautious about the wilder edge of the Club
• Supportive of Tameka — his favorite job is “her hype man”
• Wary but curious — Jessie intrigues him, but he’s watching carefully

Wife is Joy Carrington

Kids: Two teenagers — a daughter (17) Simone, who’s opinionated and artistic, and a son, Ellis (15) who’s obsessed with retro gaming and marine life. They live nearby but aren’t part of the club world.
