Animal Attraction Series Pilot - Five Senses

LiLy Frost, a confident, self-assured biracial woman in her late twenties, is doing her best to chart her own path. But nothing stands in her way—quite like her South Asian mother, Nadine. Nadine is a force of nature, convinced that her daughter’s value (and her own happiness) depends on grandchildren and a respectable husband. On a bustling morning in their upscale city apartment, the two women’s clash of wills crescendos as they prepare for a family wedding. What begins as a routine day spirals into pandemonium: Nadine’s comedic elevator misadventures—complete with squawking birds, crying children, and an escalating olfactory nightmare—contrast sharply with the electric connection LiLy experiences with a handsome stranger, Mark, in the hallway. While Nadine is stuck navigating the chaos of an elevator gone wild, LiLy and Mark’s chance encounter explodes into instant, undeniable chemistry—a passionate kiss that feels less like a meeting and more like the reunion of ancient souls. But just as LiLy’s world tilts with possibility, Mark is whisked away—his own life as complicated as hers. Meanwhile, Nadine emerges from her ordeal transformed (and slightly traumatized), only to continue her campaign for control. As the women drive off to the wedding, both are forced to confront the unpredictability of life, love, and the limits of their own expectations. By blending uproarious physical comedy with genuine emotional stakes, "Animal Attraction" delivers a fresh, female-driven take on modern romance and family dynamics. This is a story about letting go, embracing the unknown, and discovering that sometimes the greatest adventures happen when plans go spectacularly awry.
