Alicia Lawson (Lourdes Benedicto). Drama series Cashmere Mafia followed the lives of four ambitious women, longtime best friends since their days at business school. One of the four, Caitlin Dowd, started to question her sexuality 1×01, when she met and found herself attracted to advertising agency representative Alicia Lawson, and they began to date.
In 1×05, Caitlin learned that Alicia was pregnant, having planned a baby with her ex-partner Olivia. Olivia told Caitlin there was no room for her to be another mother, so Caitlin and Alicia ended their relationship in 1×06. On the show, Alicia was the first woman that Caitlin had ever dated, having only boyfriends in the past.
The series had only 7 episodes in Season 1 due to the WGA strike, and it was not renewed for a second season.
