I just held this Kyle Chandler face and before I get into the meat of his bio, I wanted to throw him out here for possible story lines. I'm waffling between having him as a social worker/advocate for the Harlem Children's Zone or one of the borough's DAs. Either way, he's a mature, professional, a bit of a bleeding heart, originally from Texas but he's been in Manhattan for about 12 years. I'm debating on whether or not he has a child, but he's a widower (for over 12 years). He pretty much needs a whole lot of stuff - friends, co-workers, women in and out of his life, etc.

	I can offer Cosette up for either a long-time friend and/or an ex if you'd like. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Can you tell me about her? What she's like and what she does. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She's a French-American fashion photographer at GQ, formerly worked for Vogue. She's very much half and half, New Yorker and Parisian which is always amusing to see the contradictions. Personality wise, she's sweet but a very independent woman. She's usually always a good go-to person, a big sister for most people, very protective of friends and has a big heart. There's a silly streak if you catch her on the right day. And as her friends tease her, she always sees the good in people initially. It takes a lot for her to think otherwise about people.

	Quinten here is from Mississippi, and I'm thinking he could very well know Quinten through his adoptive mother. His mother does a lot of volunteering in Mississippi for different women's and children's organizations. Over the years she's built a nationwide network of friends/acquaintances who do that sort of thing. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's funny you say that; my original imagining of him had him from Mississippi. Either way, that sounds good. The more I think about him, the more I can see him traveling about immediately after his wife died and maybe doing work in some poorer cities - sort of like a domestic Peace Corps sort of pilgrimage - before he settled in New York.

	I'd love offer Remy here up for something, though I'm not sure what. He's only been back in NYC for two years (and only truly active for the past year) since he was discharged from the military, and now works as a teacher at a Brooklyn high school. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	They could be familiar with each other because he's so involved in the school systems in NY? If Remy is a "tough" sort of teacher, he might have recruited him for the Harlem Children's Zone's high school age kids? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
