On Instagram, Ross revealed, "Miss Harris is played by Hope Hynes Love. She was our high school drama teacher.High school was rough for me and my brother. But Hope saw something in us we didn’t see in ourselves — and she helped give us the confidence to not only survive those four years, but to move to LA and chase our dreams."
He added, "Shoutout to all the teachers out there making a difference. And please… let’s prioritize the arts in schools." Love plays Holly Wheeler's (Nell Fisher) teacher, who notices the young girl talking to an imaginary friend and informs her mother.
