Lili (Lead)Female6-10 y.o.Latino / Hispanic White / Caucasian

Lili is a sweet but introverted girl deeply attached to her stuffed teddy bear. Sensitive and perceptive, she becomes the first to sense and encounter the Monster haunting her home. As her parents dismiss her growing fear, Lili is forced to face the psychological terror alone, heightening the emotional and narrative stakes. This role requires vulnerability, subtle emotional expression, and the ability to carry the audience’s empathy throughout the film.
