Available roles:

She is very organized, and is always well put-together. She knows the truth why Siren has been admitted to Thornewood, and tries to get Siren to talk about her past, so that she can help her, but is met with resistance from Siren. Though Dr. London is usually very serious and professional, she slowly warms to Siren, thanks to the girl’s upbeat and friendly attitude. Looking for an actress in her late 20’s or older. Needs to be able to pass as a serious professional.
Redmond Hackermann -Male- 25+- Redmond is the security guard responsible for escorting Siren to her therapy sessions.
