WE WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU
Mrs. Birchwood is a high-powered and scary CEO of a major tech company.  This takes place in the future so it has a scifi vibe and if shot in the right location, can really be powerful.  Her character is definitely sinister and has a lot going on beneath the surface of her words.
