Hannah is an adult female and is Riley's mom. She's a pretty good parent. However, she tends to have to listen to what Todd (Riley's dad) says. Todd is extremely hard on Riley, and Hannah tries to be a good parent but often can't. This is due to her situation with Todd. Todd used to be a kind, respected person, but he developed a gambling addiction a few years ago and became a terrible husband and person. Ever since then, the two have been struggling to pay bills and hold everything together and the problems keep getting worse. Hannah is constantly in fear that Todd will use violence against her, and so, she tends to let him do whatever he wants. She limits the amount of pushback that she gives to his insane actions and thoughts for this reason. When it comes to Riley's possession situation, Hannah tries to help Riley when she can, but she can't do much because of what Todd wants (he wants to do essentially nothing). Hannah believes Riley's either genuinely being stalked by someone, or that she's having something going on with her mental health that needs attention. However, Todd thinks Riley's just seeking attention and being annoying and he refuses to do anything to help her. 

I'd highly recommend reading Todd's description as well to understand your role a little better as Hannah and Todd's roles and dynamic can't be understood nearly as well by only reading one description.

Audition lines:

• "I set up some cameras outside. I think you're just on edge, but I'll keep a lookout just in case. Ok? Goodnight, Riley." (context: Hannah is talking to Riley one on one after Riley had told her parents that she thinks someone is stalking her.)

• Todd: "I've had enough of this crap. Every night now I hear something going on in her room. She's talking in her sleep, and this is getting ridiculous." (half-yelling)


• Hannah: "Look at what's going on with her! We can't just send her away!" 


• Todd: "Right now, our problems start and stop at paying the electricity bill, Hannah. I have no time or energy to deal with Riley going psycho." (half-yelling)


• Hannah: "She's your daughter. What do you mean her well-being isn't your issue? You can't just send her off when she's at her worst!" (half-yelling)


• Todd: "She just wants attention. Nothing's actually going on. I already have my daughter having a temper-tantrum. I don't need you to have one too." (yelling). (pause) "The decision is final. I'm going to go make some calls now." (calm, but extremely firm).
