Beatrix is a substitute teacher who treats the apartment hallway like a staging area for whatever school she is surviving that week. She is patient until she is not, funny in a worn-down way, and good at reading people's moods before they speak. Her voice should be practical and lightly theatrical, with lesson cards, tote bags, hallway interruptions, and a private relief at being seen by another adult.
