My Cousin, The Creep

Diane and Gordon, portrayed by Jamie Michelle and James Sinner, are tired of their layabout teenager Melody, played by Sophia Burns, leeching off them and refusing to leave the nest. No matter what they attempt, Sophia always manages to stick around. She's obstinate and defiant, to say the least. One day, an idea strikes Diane and Gordon. They decide to bring in Melody's unsettling stepcousin, Steven, acted by Robby Echo, to live with them. Melody is puzzled – without a spare room, where will Steven sleep? With a knowing grin, Diane and Gordon reveal that Steven will bunk in Melody's room. This unexpected move rattles Melody, as her parents are seemingly counting on Steven's eerie aura to push her into independence. Steven begins irksomely pulsating his presence around the house, leaving Melody deeply unsettled. She decides she can't endure this invasion and contemplates moving out as her parents hoped. However, Melody decides to change tactics. To upend her parents' scheme, she opts to entice Steven. This calculated liaison exposes her parents to the fact that Melody controls her fate – and reinforces the notion that Melody will always achieve things her way.
