Running down here to ask for more of this charming story, and I read the comments... So if you don't mind, here be my two cents worth=)
Anthea should be an unsympathetic character, until she finds herself in a situation that makes her sympathetic. What if she see Harry (who you've established as knowing Sarah) put the moves on a responding Sarah? If Anthea were to respond in a sympathetic way, and Sarah see this... Maybe Anthea gets annoyed at Mycroft's continual sticking his nose into her business and sets him up (in a scheming way, since that's what they do) with Greg, and Mycroft's never had a gay relationship before (since the home service is not quite open minded) and Anthea sees how well it's working and risks texting Sarah. If you're worried about Anthea's voice, have her do most of her communicating through texts, until you get how you're going to write her.
Sorry, but my plot bunnies bred like bunnies on speed. Feel free to ignore or breed until you can't recognize them anymore =)
