ActorGreat job Justina! Loved your emotional prep and your connection to her. The technical stuff was spot on.
A couple of thoughts - Might continue doing your activity throughout the scene as appropriate while you're talking. At the end when you said "Yes", I saw your shock but would have loved to see more joy/gratitude at the offer.
Just my 2 cents! Very nice work!

ActressJustina, You are so charming & likable! Such great listening and reacting! You really light up the screen!
Something to think about: Take a beat to really notice her smile before saying she reminds you of your daughter.
