About “The Cleaning Lady” in a few words:

The Cleaning Lady follows Thony, a brilliant doctor from Cambodia who ends up in the U.S. as an undocumented immigrant while trying to save her son’s life. When things spiral, she’s pulled into the criminal underworld, using her job as a cleaning lady to erase evidence for powerful people. It’s tense, emotional, and all about moral compromise — how much of yourself you give up just to keep going.

Meet the characters from The Cleaning Lady

Thony

Thony is the heart and the cold-blooded problem-solver all at once — resourceful, tireless, and fiercely protective of her family. She lives this wild double life where she can be folding laundry one minute and making a snap, morally messy decision the next (and somehow both feel right). She hums to herself while she works and alphabetizes things for comfort, but then will also do the most ruthless thing you never saw coming. She’s endlessly sympathetic and also very practical about survival, which makes her impossible not to root for (and slightly terrifying in the best way).

Fiona

Fiona is the pragmatic mastermind type — efficient, a little icy, and always three moves ahead in a way that makes other people breathe out of rhythm. She’s the fixer, the planner, the “let’s do this” voice, and yet she collects ridiculous little comforts (mismatched mugs, cheesy soap opera recaps) that make her human. She hates chaos but somehow orchestrates the messiest rescues with unnerving calm. She’ll tell you she hates surprises and then drop the most theatrical one on you and smile like it’s no big deal.

Chris

Chris is the steady, complicated anchor — loyal to a fault, full of quiet rules, and prone to making big, messy choices when his protective streak kicks in. He looks like the calm guy you can trust with a problem and then surprises you with private vulnerabilities (late-night confessions, an antique jazz obsession — random, but true). He’s practical and occasionally dramatic in that “yells at small appliances” kind of way, which is oddly charming. He’s predictable enough to rely on and unpredictable enough to keep you on your toes — which, honestly, is the best combo.

Jaz

Jaz arrives like a flash of neon — loud, fashionable, sharp-tongued, and somehow always the one to say the thing everyone’s thinking. She’s impulsive (in a good way), brilliant at quick fixes and group chat plans at 2 a.m., and hopeless about remembering where she put her phone. Under the glitter and sass there’s real courage and fierce refusal to be overlooked, plus tiny rituals like painting her nails before major confrontations. She’ll loudly swear she’s fearless but then refuse to watch horror movies, which is both infuriating and adorable.
