Desperate, the actress uses the opportunity to beg Kawalsky for a role in his latest movie, but her audition is woeful to say the least. However Zac&#8217;s agent Grant tempts him with a bet he can&#8217;t refuse, the condition being that Zac has one week to make Jodea a brilliant actress.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/introducingjodea.d.png?resize=225%2C98&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7260\" width=\"225\" height=\"98\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/introducingjodea.d.png?resize=300%2C130&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/introducingjodea.d.png?resize=1024%2C444&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/introducingjodea.d.png?resize=768%2C333&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/introducingjodea.d.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We all like to feel that dreams can come true and that true love does exist, which is the message of this film &#8211; the traditional Cinderella story that&#8217;ll make you laugh and cry.
