1. An aspiring writer, Elise finds herself tasked with closing up The Driftless Bookstore —owned by her late grandmother Lorraine—and preparing it to go on the market. Having spent every summer in Driftless visiting her grandmother, Elise finds comfort in the familiar—including her childhood crush, Max.

   Actress Emily Tennant is no stranger to Hallmark Channel, having most recently appeared in 2025’s Christmas Above the Clouds. She also lent her voice to the animated Polly Pocket series, and appeared in the Shudder original film, Influencers.

2. Max (Carlo Marks) helps run his family’s farm, and is simultaneously pursuing his own passion project of crafting his own hard cider. When Elise returns to Drifting, he is reminded of the summers they spent together, and is happy to seek her writing assistance as he pitches a name and concept for his concoction.

   Marks is a certified Hallmark hunk, having appeared in films like Sugarplummed and Scouting for Christmas in addition to the network’s drama series, Chesapeake Shores, but he has also earned credits on TV shows like Smallville, The 100, and CIA.

3. EaeMya Thyngi plays Molly Teller, who has been an employee at Elise’s late grandmother’s bookstore since she was 14, and is a crucial source of knowledge and support for Elise as she gets the store ready for sale. However, a hidden talent of hers may take priority over stocking shelves.

   Other Hallmark Channel titles of Thyngi’s include Jingle Bell Run and Providence Falls.

4. Winnie, played by Laura Soltis, is an active member of the Driftless community. Upon meeting Elise, she tells her that she helps with the Apple Blossom Festival, a local event that Elise’s grandmother would host readings alongside, and assured Elise that Lorraine was “the heartbeat of this town.”

   Soltis has appeared in several Hallmark Channel movies, including this year’s Nelly Knows Mysteries: All Manners of Murder.

5. Mark Humphrey plays Max’s father Earl, who is concerned his son’s goals of launching his own cider and distributing it outside of Driftless are a bit too lofty.

   Humphrey may be recognizable to Hearties (When Calls the Heart fans) as Frank Hogan, who he played in a 27-episode arc across Seasons 2-5. Among his other TV credits are CTV’s E-N-G, Alias, and CSI: Miami. He also appeared in Crime 101, starring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, and Halle Berry.
