Dawn Tinsley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dawn Tinsley is a character in the BBC sitcom The Office, played by Lucy Davis. She is a receptionist for paper merchants Wernham Hogg and is engaged to warehouse worker Lee, a dour man without a sense of humour (or personality).
Her American The Office equivalent is Pam Beesly. She is also the inspiration for Laetitia Kadiri in the French version of the show, Le Bureau, and Anne Viens in the Quebecois version, La Job.
Despite her engagement, it is apparent that she shares a mutual attraction to senior sales representative Tim Canterbury.
She resigns towards the end of the second series to move with fiancé Lee to Florida to stay with Lee's sister's family.
Her story continues in the Christmas Specials where she and Lee are living a dead end existence in Florida, both as illegal aliens since they aren't American citizens and barely making ends meet as it is. She decides to return to Slough. She finally leaves Lee for the long-suffering Tim, after he encourages her to hold onto her dream of being a children's book illustrator, an ambition which Lee sought to put down at every opportunity.
