Dr. Sharon Fieldstone

Sharon Fieldstone arrives at AFC Richmond as the club's new sports psychologist, brought in to help the team's mental game. Calm, precise, and unreadable, she keeps her distance from the players and staff alike, answering warmth with clinical politeness — a professional who has clearly done this before and isn't here to make friends.

She's the rare character built specifically to resist Ted's charm, and Sarah Niles plays that resistance beautifully — all stillness and control against his motion and noise. The show uses her as a mirror for its own sunniness, and Niles makes her guardedness feel earned rather than cold, which is what makes the eventual thaw worth watching for.
