* Alice has progeria.

** Alice belongs to a species that grows up faster than humans.

** Alice [[BeleagueredBureaucrat has worked at a horrifically demanding job for 22 hours a day, seven days a week, every week since she was 10]]. That is why, at 25, Alice looks like she is in her 90s.

* '''Double Subverted''': ...She still looks 20 years older than she actually is.

** Difference between actual age and apparent age is over-inflated for the sake of {{absurdism}}.
** Bob mistakenly calls Alice "an 80-year old". Offended, Alice quickly retorts that she's actually 79.

They accuse this character of [[OlderThanTheyLook looking young]].

* '''Enforced''': [[DawsonCasting Alice is being played by an actor who's older than she is]].
