Dawn Tinsley
Dawn Tinsley is a fictional character in the BBC sitcom The Office, played by Lucy Davis. She is a receptionist for paper merchants Wernham Hogg and was originally engaged to warehouse worker Lee. 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 Québécois version, La Job.
Despite her engagement, it is apparent that she is attracted to senior sales representative Tim Canterbury, and he to her.
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 when the documentary producers pay for her and Lee to fly back to the UK to attend the Christmas party and reunion, set three years after the end of series two. She finally leaves Lee for the long-suffering Tim, after he encourages her to hold on to her dream of being a children's book illustrator, an ambition which Lee sought to put down at every opportunity.
