John
About the Job
A well-dressed, old-money father with an air of quiet authority. Polite, composed, and emotionally removed, John treats Ellie with formal distance and never realizes Ivy is in the house. During Christie’s disappearance, he takes charge calmly and efficiently, unaware another child is involved. John remains unchanged, his sense of order restored, underscoring the stability of his world and the precarity of Ellie’s.
