Sadayo Kawakami

Kawakami is a highly competent and professional teacher who never lets her ever-mounting stress and exhaustion show visibly in either of her jobs. She is laid-back and outspoken, once saying "crap" in class, and never again, due to not wanting to set a bad example of herself in front of her students.

She is also something of a hopeless romantic, though both her crushing self-loathing and age cause her to feel that she has grown past the point where she can experience such things. Still, she enjoys cheesy romantic lines and is more than willing to throw some herself.

Sadayo doesn’t take something like a romantical relationship lightly, often due to her genuinely wanting to find someone to be with for the rest of her life, and also due to how long she’s gone without ever finding anyone…

Kawakami is a youthful-looking woman of medium height and a slender build. She has dark brown unkempt hair, dark brown eyes and consistently has a somewhat long and sleepy face.

While teaching, she wears a yellow long-sleeved shirt striped with white and red horizontal lines, a blue denim skirt and white kitten heel pumps. During her off-time, she wears a beige blazer over her outfit.

During her second job, she wears a French-styled maid costume and has her hair pulled into twin tails.

Whenever it’s winter, Kawakami opts to wear a yellow Chesterfield-style coat over a brown turtleneck sweater, her usual denim skirt, and black leggings with matching black pumps.

Her maid job in Victoria as "Becky" is a housekeeping service focused on providing household chores with a few extra options like sharing a meal with the maid, back massages, and lap pillow. And If she’s comfortable with a certain customer, she could more for them, like washing their dishes, making them coffee, or even making them a full on meal for them. Kawakami effects a stereotypical moe personality, acting energetic, cute and naive. She also acts like a cat and says "meow ♡." As she herself admits, her age and health make this come off as shallow and fake, and she regularly breaks character out of fatigue, even going so far as to complain to customers she’s certain won’t tell anyone else about all the work and odd jobs she has to do.

There’s a reason she does this other job, and it’s because of a certain incident.

When she was teaching in the previous school, she was ordered by the principal to persuade a student called Taiki Takase who had the lowest grades and skipped school frequently to transfer to another school. Kawakami pitied Takase for losing his parents and working three part-time jobs to support his life, hence she tutored him personally to improve his grades. This act of kindness was met with criticism and the principal ordered her to either stop the tutoring or resign because of rumors about Takase being a juvenile delinquent. Kawakami had no choice but to give up on Takase. Takase received her phone call about her difficult decision during his delivery part-time job under heavy rain. He apparently died in a car crash during New years eve because of exhaustion from his part-time jobs and studying. Takase's relatives who adopted him blamed Kawakami for his death and threatened to sue her unless she pays them as an "apology" for Takase's death. Takase's guardians become increasingly insatiable by raising their demands more frequently. When Kawakami is hospitalized because of being overworked, they only visit her to urge her payment to cover their debts. After the couple shows up in Shujin Academy to threaten her by making her second part-time job, which they assumed to be prostitution after the latest increase of their demand, known to all Shujin faculties. In reality, her agency has two divisions: one being a legit call-out service and the other being the actual prostitution service, with Kawakami being in the former.
