LITTLE OLD LADY Mujer | 70s | Vendedora de café Una mujer mayor que atiende un pequeño puesto de café a la orilla de la carretera, en una zona montañosa de México. Es tranquila, observadora y orgullosa de su oficio. Prepara café de manera tradicional, con cuidado y precisión, como parte de un ritual que conoce perfectamente. Tiene una presencia cálida y expresiva; comunica mucho a través de sus gestos y miradas, sin necesidad de hablar. Su reacción de desaprobación cuando Matteo pide leche y azúcar aporta un momento de humor.

TÍA CONSUELA Mujer | 70s Tía de Matteo, una mujer mayor, expresiva, entrañable y ligeramente dramática. Tiene una personalidad divertida y un talento especial para conseguir lo que quiere apelando a la culpa y al cariño familiar. Es apasionada por las telenovelas y convierte cualquier pequeño inconveniente en una auténtica tragedia. Aunque Matteo intenta evadir sus peticiones, ella sabe perfectamente cómo manipularlo emocionalmente para conseguir su atención. Es una presencia familiar cálida, cómica y muy mexicana.

Ruth is a very intense person who approaches her job with religious fervor. Which is perfect since she is a government employee leading HR delinquents in a presentation on workplace behavior. Think of her as that scary teacher you had in grade school. Seeking someone who can radiate intensity, but also present embarrassment and quick deflection. Comedy experience is a bonus.

Female, mid 30s to late 40s. Open to all ethnicities. Must have a natural American accent. Warm, upbeat and someone you’d trust with your family’s paperwork. Think of the friend who happens to know everything about wills and probate. She speaks with authority but never sounds stuffy, and she has to love this stuff. The scripts move around a lot: playful one minute, dry the next, then quiet and empathetic when the story turns to loss. There are plenty of legal terms (intestacy, probate, fiduciary) and dollar figures, so she needs to be comfortable with both. Strong prompter skills are a must. She can appear as a host persona. Real experience with estates, law or finance is a bonus but not required. Must be legally able to work in Canada.

Wedding officiant who presides over Maggie & Cal's marriage ceremony

Fresh out of her first queer relationship. She’s a feisty yet deeply emotional young woman.

A soon-to-be divorcee, she's a classy, distinguished older lady, yet she holds bitterness and resentment towards younger women.

Bartender who decides to break up the fight between the two female protagonists.

Oliver and Syd's mother, free-spirited drifter who left her kids in the late '90s and was never seen again. We meet her mostly through old home videos and memories, and she leaves a mark on every scene she's in. The role needs mystery, frantic energy and a touch of something unsettling. It includes period-costume sequences (Victorian era). It also needs a strong dramatic range for one very emotional late scene.

Non-speaking. The opening image of the film and a featured role in many flashbacks, set in the late '90s. He's an imaginative kid who runs around in a cape, plays with toy trucks, and is completely convinced a witch lives under the basement stairs. His big moments include a race up the stairs in the dark, sledding and building snowmen with his sister, and the day his mother leaves: he freezes, can't bring himself to say goodbye, and hides in the crawl space. Needs a child actor who can hold real fear and grief on camera without dialogue. Ideally blonde with blue eyes.

Non-speaking. Oliver's twin sister in the flashbacks. She's the slightly bolder, protective one, older by three hours and already acting like it. We see her watching an old witch movie with her mom and brother, sledding, and building snowmen in the backyard. In one key scene she sits at the basement door calling out to Oliver after their mother leaves, until the police arrive. No dialogue, but she has to carry quiet worry. Ideally blonde with blue eyes.

Mark's scrappy teen sidekick who films his social media videos. Committed to the bit, including a "Medieval Mukbang" in full maiden costume and heavy makeup. Great for a comedic performer. Character is 17; actors 18+ who can play younger are welcome.

The PSW who's always next in line for Oliver's shifts. Shows up in scrubs at exactly the wrong moment. Needs a big, believable horror scream, plus a comedic button scene at the end.

A restaurant server who gets pulled into Oliver's awkward "were you scared of your basement?" survey. Deadpan comedy. Several lines.

Working the drinks table at Syd's gallery show, and won't budge on the drink-ticket policy, even for the artist. Dry, deadpan.

A diner who answers Oliver's question way too seriously and eagerly. One big comedic laugh. Any age.

A restaurant guest who asks to borrow the empty chair. Any gender.

The police officer who takes Oliver's statement after things go badly wrong. May also play the officer in the late-'90s flashback. Any gender.
