The eldest sibling and the family’s backbone. Maggi is responsible, practical, and always in control. She returns to Mexico after discovering her father had a secret son.

Ethnicity: Latino (Mexican-American preferred)
Language: Bilingual in Spanish
Travel: Must have passport / able to travel to Mexico

 

Description:

The middle sibling, quiet, observant, and athletic, he’s learned to fit into expectations rather than challenge them. As a gay man, he isn’t fully out to his extended family, keeping parts of himself hidden. Still processing the loss of his father—Kevin retreats inward. When a breakup follows soon after, it adds to the emotional weight he carries as he joins the journey, hoping to reconnect with his father and himself.

His journey is one of quiet transformation — stepping out of the background, embracing his identity, and finally allowing himself to be seen.

Status: CLOSED (Submissions under review for video auditions.)
