Android data class structure for unlabelled API response

An API is returning responses without any outlying data fields, but instead only as an array object like this:

[{"name":"John Smith", "age":"44", "address":"1 Main Street, Anywhere, USA"}, {"name":"Jane Taylor", "age":"22", "address":"10 Suburbia Lane, Sometown, USA"},{"name":"Simon Jones", "age":"36", "address":"33 City Boulevard, Midvalley, USA"}]

My response data classes usually include labels, like this:

data class MyResponseClass (
  val status: String? = null,
  val description: String? = null
)

How should I structure a response class that does not include labels?

TIA.

UPDATE:

Following Ivo's answer (thank you, btw), how could such a class inherit a base class?

open class MyBaseReponseClass() : Serializable {
   val status: String? = null
   val description: String? = null
}

data class MyResponseClass (
  val name: String? = null,
  val age: String? = null,
  val address: String? = null
) : MyBaseReponseClass()

The name, age, and address are in an array, but not status and description.

Thanks again!

Not sure what you mean with not using labels. it clearly has name, age and address so it will be

data class MyResponseClass (
  val name: String? = null,
  val age: String? = null
  val address: String? = null
)

And where you indicate the type of the response you say it's a List<MyResponseClass>
