Emmanuel is a minor character featured in the Apple TV+ series, Ted Lasso, a model, and Richard Montlaur's date for Christmas dinner at the Leslie Higgins family home.
When she first arrives at the Higgins' house along with Richard, Jan Maas, and Dani Rojas, she seems disinterest and lack of enthusiasm for attending a dinner with a bunch of strangers she doesn't know. Steve Higgins sees the tall woman and immediately smitten of her. While inside, although being polite, she doesn't talk with anyone - only sipping a glass of red wine with a stick of cinnamon.
Sam Obisanya asks Richard who is playing a video game with Dana Higgins why he brought along a date to a team Christmas dinner, in which Richard replies that the French people believe that having a beautiful woman around is always a good thing. Jan Maas says that it was not true with the Helter Skelter murders, which prompt some glares from his friends.
When Tyler Shannon, Robbie Roberts, and Kyle McCracken arrives, everyone welcomes them happily including Emmanuel. She is now warming up especially it seems the family is very welcoming to everyone.
During dinner, Terry Higgins is serving her a glass of champagne from the bottle, before trying to take a sip for himself, but she and Richard stops him in time. Higgins then gives some toast to every guests, and acknowledge the couple that it is an honor to have them with the family to share the traditions and make new ones. That brings smile to her face as she is happily spending Christmas with everyone.
After the toast, the family and the players heard Rebecca Welton and Ted Lasso singing with a bunch of street buskers outside their house. Everyone goes outside and happily singing and dancing together in the street.
