"A Child of Her Own" Seeks Talents

Husband and father — charming, easy, likable, and fundamentally chooses avoidance over confrontation. Troy isn't a villain; he's a man who has spent years choosing comfort over courage and living with the guilt of it. Seeking an actor who can be genuinely charismatic without ever feeling untrustworthy on the surface.

A college student who takes a live-in nanny position to save her scholarship and finds herself the only person willing to ask the questions no one else in the house will. Our way into the story — observant, principled, and increasingly in over her head. Seeking an actress who can carry a film as an audience surrogate: grounded and relatable early, capable of real fear and real resolve as the stakes escalate.

Mia's boyfriend — practical, a little anxious, deeply loyal. Corey starts as the voice of caution and becomes an active partner in the plan once he realizes loyalty to Mia means backing her, not talking her out of it. Warm, easy chemistry with Mia; this relationship needs to feel lived-in from their first scene together. Some light comedic timing needed alongside the dramatic range.

An orderly at the facility where Veronica is institutionalized. Quietly sympathetic from his first scene, Mike moves from a bystander who bends small rules to help Veronica into a full accomplice who takes real personal risk on her behalf. Seeking an actor who can convey growing moral conviction largely through restraint and small, risky choices.

A police officer close to the main family — measured, calm, and gradually revealed to be protecting the family for reasons of his own. Jonas' danger is entirely in restraint for most of the film; his corruption should read as controlled and reasonable right up until it isn't. Seeking an actor comfortable playing ambiguous authority — someone the audience isn't sure whether to trust, right up until the film answers that question for them.
