Aleida Rosales

Aleida Rosales is a kid with a gift for numbers and no patience for people who underestimate her because of where she comes from. Living without papers on the margins of the world NASA occupies, she is wary, sharp-tongued, and quietly hungry for something bigger than her circumstances allow.

Coral Peña plays her defensiveness as armor rather than attitude, so the flashes of wonder underneath land harder. The show lets her genius coexist with real precarity instead of erasing it, and that tension between brilliance and vulnerability makes every small kindness shown to her feel consequential.
