She’s a strong, family‑oriented young woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to protect those she cares about—even to the point of violence if necessary. When Sarah’s fiancé, Kola, turns out to be physically abusive, it's Kemi who intervenes—and in a tragic turn of events, accidentally kills him in what she believes is self‑defence. Following the incident, she and Sarah choose to cover up the death, which draws them into a downward spiral of suspense, betrayal, and flight from justice.
Olivia Everybody Loves Jenifa Olivia is the wife of Lobster, the new neighbor who threatens Jenifa's popularity.

Despite Olivia's suffering, her mother, Mrs. Agnes, remains silent due to financial benefits from Lobster, adding complexity to Olivia’s plight.
