Where Sasha is guarded and passionate about building her career, Carly is outgoing and passionate about making money. Peake and Lecky are a great match as the two women leads of the series—it’s fun to watch Carly encourage Sasha in simple tasks, like picking her OnlyFans username , but it’s also inspiring to watch the two band together to overcome life’s biggest challenges .
