Diana Watts (played by Lindsay Burdge) is a protagonist in A Teacher.
Diana is a high school English teacher in suburban Texas who is having a secret affair with her student, Eric. As she fears the relationship being exposed, she asks him to delete a revealing photo and tries to put their affair on hold. Her jealousy and increasingly erratic behavior strain the relationship, and she ends the story alone in a motel after Eric rejects her. Eric Tull (played by Will Brittain) is a protagonist in A Teacher.
Eric is Diana's student and secret lover. He hides their relationship at school, deletes a topless photo at her request, and goes with a girl to the Sadie Hawkins dance to avoid suspicion. At his family's ranch he dismisses Diana's fears, then becomes aggressive when she pushes him away. Later he rejects her attempts to continue the relationship and blocks her calls. Sophia (played by Jennifer Prediger) appears in A Teacher.
Sophia is Diana's roommate. She tries to set Diana up with Rich and Dan at a party, unaware that Diana is more focused on sending a topless photo to Eric. When Eric storms out of Diana's house, Sophia returns home and watches in shock as Diana chases after him, witnessing the turmoil in her roommate's relationship. Jessica (played by Julie Dell Phillips) appears in A Teacher.
Jessica is a fellow teacher at Diana's school. She tells Diana that a topless photo of a student is circulating and comments on teenagers' carelessness, prompting Diana to fear that the photo she sent Eric could also spread. Jessica later enters Diana's classroom during a private conversation with Eric, interrupting them. Eric's father (played by Chris Doubek) appears in A Teacher.
Eric's father is present at the family home when Diana calls the landline asking for Eric; assuming she is a classmate, he tells her it is late and suggests she speak to Eric at school. He later comes outside to check on Eric when Diana approaches his bedroom window, and his appearance causes her to flee. Sophia's brother (played by Michael J. Wilson) appears in A Teacher.
