Fan Casting Sister Melissa in The Vows We Break

She was born in a small coastal town to a mother and a father whose family had immigrated. Growing up between cultures, she frequently felt as though she belonged everywhere and nowhere. Her mother was deeply religious, while her father was considerably more skeptical of the Church. She entered the convent at 27 after abandoning an engagement that had left her questioning whether she was choosing marriage because she wanted it or because everyone expected it.
