Fan Casting Ana Manuel in Velvet Bound

Personal Assistant to Hattie Dunlevy Ana grew up in a working-class family and learned early how to survive through determination and charisma. She moved to New York in her early twenties and built a reputation as one of the most sought-after executive assistants among wealthy clients. When hired by Hattie, she initially viewed the position as another career opportunity. That changed over time. Working closely together every day allows Sofia to see beyond Hattie’s public persona. She recognizes the loneliness behind the luxury and becomes one of the few people who speaks honestly to her.
