I'm using this exact concept for a lesson I'm finishing up right now. I've got 6 choices - 3 male and 3 female. I'm putting 1 avatar on each layer and adding a conversation between the supervisor and the avatar. Since the learner can choose either a male or female avatar, I also have a male and female voice for the avatar they choose. I then use the variable for the avatar to turn on the correct audio track and turn off the other audio track on the base layer.

Agnes. You are essentially repeating the work for the female character that you did for the male character. Whether you put the characters on the same layer, imposed on each other, or if you put them on different layers, you'll need to use a variable to tell the program which avatar to turn on and which one to turn off. Think of it as a binary choice, the answer either gives you "male" or female" on the option slide. Then on the following slide if the variable is "male" , then you change state to "normal" for the male avatar and "hidden" for the female. As I said, you can do that on the same layer, or your "male/female" variable can have the "male" or the "female" layer show at the beginning to the timeline
