Leeza Scarborough

Leeza is a teenage girl in Crockett, a small island town, who has used a wheelchair since a hunting accident left her paralyzed years earlier. She sings in the church choir, prays with real sincerity, and carries her disability with a quiet, uncomplaining grace that others in her life have not fully earned back from guilt.

Annarah Cymone plays Leeza with a stillness that never tips into saintliness — her faith reads as genuinely hers, not a writer's shorthand for goodness. The show trusts her interiority enough to let small gestures, a hymn, a look toward her father, carry more weight than dialogue, making her the emotional barometer of the whole congregation.
