Abstract: We present minimalist constructions for lepton masses and mixing based on flavour symmetry under the modular group $Gamm{a}_N$ of lowest level $N=2$. As opposed to the only existing model of $Gamm{a}_{2}cong{S}_3$ formulated in a SUSY framework, the only non-SM field is the modulus $au$, and a generalised CP symmetry is implemented. Charged-leptons masses are reproduced through symmetry arguments, without requiring fine-tuning of the free parameters. As a result, all lepton observables (masses and mixing) are reproduced within $1sigma$ experimental range using a minimum of nine free real parameters (including the real and imaginary parts of the modulus). A normal ordering for the neutrino masses is predicted. We also obtain predictions for the CP violating phases: the Dirac CP phase is predicted around $1.6pi$, the Majorana phases lie in narrow regions near $pmpi$. The sum of neutrino masses is within the current bound at $sim0.09,exteV$. Furthermore, we provide predictions for the neutrinoless double beta decay and tritium decay effective masses, around $20,extmeV$. Given the reduced number of free input parameters as compared to the existing literature on modular $S_3$, this work renews interest for a unified predictive model of quark-lepton sectors based on $Gamm{a}_{2}cong{S}_3$.
