Neff Davis

Neff Davis works the front desk at a boutique Manhattan hotel, sharp-eyed and underpaid, quietly cataloguing the wealthy guests who barely notice her. When Anna Delvey checks in trailing designer luggage and an air of European money, Neff is intrigued rather than starstruck, and the two strike up an unlikely, genuine friendship.

Alexis Floyd gives the show its conscience: Neff is smart enough to clock every red flag and human enough to stay anyway, for the thrill of proximity and the pull of real affection. Through her eyes, the audience feels both the seduction of Anna's world and the cost of believing in someone who may be performing friendship as fluently as everything else.
