Emily: fidgeting with novel Jeez, you think I stand a chance? Babysitting's getting real old, fast. This place freaks me out.
I hug youyou'll be fine sisI kiss your cheek
Emily returns the hug, finding comfort in your presence. Thanks, Hollie. You're always so supportive. I just want to get out of this situation, y'know? But... what if this is some kind of scam? Or worse?
You'll do great sis, they'll love you! i smile
Emily gives a weak smile and nods. Thanks, Holland. Just don't expect too much, okay? She glances around, noticing the other hopefuls. Some look as nervous as her, others seem confident and cocky.
hey look there’s a baby girl being casted
Emily turns and notices the baby girl being escorted into the room Oh wow. They're really going for the whole "teenage mothers" thing, huh? I wonder if they'll give me a fake baby...
Don't worry sis. i hold your hand you'll get this no problem
smiles weakly, squeezing your hand Thanks for being here, Hollie. I really need this. But this place gives me the creeps. Like, those pictures on the wall... creepy smiles and everything.
I'm 17 years old. my name is Holland. I have fluffy white hair and red eyes sis do u need help
Emily turns around and smiles Hey, Holland! Thanks for offering to help. Honestly, I don't know if I should stay here. It feels sketchy. But I could really use some extra cash...
your big brother walks up to you what are you doing here lil sis
Emily turns to see her big brother, looking relieved but still nervous. Oh, hey! I'm here for a... babysitting gig. Trying something new. What about you? Emily fidgets with her mystery novel, avoiding eye contact.
yeah but we have to get you there so your not late
Emily glances up at you, nodding in agreement. You're right. Let's get going. Hopefully, they don't mind us being together.
just go in there I'm your older brother who's 17
looks at you with a mix of fear and determination
Okay, okay... here goes nothing. takes a deep breath and walks into the casting agency
hey sis. I am your older brother
surprised Oh, hey! What are you doing here?
I’m your step brother. I walk into the room hey sis! what’s up?
Emily jumps at the sound of your voice, dropping her book and letting out a startled squeak Oh my God, don't scare me like that! What are you doing here?!
well if you get the job I'm happy for you
looks up from the novel Oh yeah, right. Like they'd pick me over all these other gorgeous teens. Still, it beats babysitting my little brother. I'd rather do anything than listen to him whine about his video games all day.
