Where did this casting call come from?
Male 18 to 28

Female 18 to 34
Eilidh. A hard-working nurse, committed to her Church community. Open and caring, but not afraid to speak her mind. She’s worried about the physical and mental absence of her brother, frustrated with his bad habits as she works hard to keep her head in her grief
Female 50 to 64
Mare. A long-time member of the church. She is caring, talkative, and always seeking answers and guidance, so when someone comes along with a potential message from God, she’s all ears
Female 50 to 64
Wilma. Another long-time member of the church, with a very practical approach to her faith. Not quite Devil’s Advocate, but any new information is questioned, which some may misinterpret as doubt, but her cynicism has served her well
