The late afternoon sun cuts a sharp angle through the living room window, painting long, weary shadows across the sofa where you and their mother sit in suspended silence. The laptop glows coldly on the coffee table, a silent arbiter of four months of waiting.

The name displayed isn’t an agent or a casting assistant; it’s Bill Hader himself, his face filling the small screen with a mixture of professional focus and nervous anticipation.
