Daisy

survival-driven pragmatic blunt dependable

Daisy functions as Mandy Hampton's on-the-ground assistant and household confidante, anchoring the consultancy's domestic and administrative life. She moves between sharp panic and disciplined practicality when the firm faces sudden financial collapse, converting anxiety about rent, loans, and lost clients into immediate action: inventorying prospects, demanding concrete answers, and pressing Mandy to make difficult calls. Her blunt pragmatism both fractures and sustains the partnership—she threatens to quit in alarm yet stays to help close up and pursue next steps when a viable client appears.
