Once a successful businessman and single father, Hank is a shell of the lively man he used to be - partly from age and the physical deterioration of his body, but mostly from the mental and emotional stranglehold his daughter's illness has on him. A few years ago, his daughter received a life-threatening neurological diagnosis. The pain was too much, and Hank stopped visiting her in the hospital. He's carried that guilt every day since. Sharp as a knife - he remembers everything and volunteers nothing, pragmatic and unreadable until his daughter comes up, at which point a deep, desperate grief breaks through. He was the property manager who sold Oliver's parents the house back in 1997, and he's genuinely warm toward Oliver, which only makes it worse when Oliver betrays his trust.

Born in the early 1800s, Lorraine found a partner who wanted exactly what she did: eternal life. With her lover Nathan, she conjured the Kikimora (a mythological creature who can give eternal life) and has worshiped it ever since. In the 1990s, she became pregnant, and despite Nathan's opposition, she kept the twins - Oliver and Syd - and raised them herself. It was the happiest stretch of her long life: loving, present, attentive. But the guilt of outliving her children, watching them grow old and die while she stayed young forever, became unbearable. She left them - and left behind her necklace of eternal life. The moment she took it off, age caught up with her all at once, and her mind took the worst of it. Her dementia is advanced but non-linear; she drifts between sharp clarity and total absence with no warning. When she's present, she's nurturing, loving, a wonderful listener. More than anything, she wants to be young again and to give her children the gift of eternal life she once gave up.

A single mother of twins, she is loving, present and attentive. More than anything, she wants to be stay young forever and to give her children the gift of eternal life she once gave up. She has a calm energy and is easily manipulated.

Comedic relief of the scene. The Handyman is doing a little more drinking and smoking on the job then repairing the leaky faucet in the basement. He's got a short temper and emotions rise quickly.

Tom is the intern to a struggling internet content creator - Mark. He'll do just about anything to make a buck. He's awkward but holds confidence that seems out of place.

This character is an anchor. They are practicing Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) principles, meaning they are deeply observant, patient, and able to look past the child's anger to the fear underneath. They hold boundaries firmly but with immense compassion. They are not looking to "fix" the problem immediately but rather to "hold" the child's emotions, providing a safe harbor. The actor must convey unconditional love, presence, and a sense of unshakable commitment. Vocal & Performance Notes: Calm, grounded, unhurried — this is the emotional anchor of every scene, so pacing should never rush even when the child escalates. Warm and patient but not soft or permissive; she holds boundaries with authority delivered through steadiness, not sternness. Body language remains present, with steady eye contact. Casting Sensitivities: Should read as relatable and real rather than polished/commercial No clinical or therapist affect — she is a parent using these tools at home, not a professional in a session.

The Child is currently battling a severe, entrenched eating disorder. They are trapped in a cycle of fear, anxiety, and distorted body image. Across the six scenarios he negotiates, deflects, and questions food (portion size, ingredients, plate size, timing) as a way of managing a deeper fear — of weight gain, of losing control, of being judged or rejected. Underneath both is a frightened kid who softens into real vulnerability and small moments of letting the parent in. Each scenario should land in a small act of connection (a bite taken, a hand held, staying in the room). Vocal & Performance Notes: Needs to move credibly between guarded/defensive, cornered anger, and shattered vulnerability. Should sound raw and a little frayed at the edges, not polished or “acted.” The exhaustion of the disorder should be audible, not just stated. Comfortable with quiet, held silences as well as loud angry moments. Casting Sensitivities: This is a minor performing emotionally demanding material about a child's mental health. Eating disorders affect people of every body type — we do not seek a young actor who visibly appears underweight. We seek a young actor who can take direction on subtlety and de-escalation, not only big emotional swings — several beats hinge on a quiet admission rather than an outburst.
