Fan Casting Zoey Montgomery in The House Guest

Occupation: History professor Grew up in an academically oriented family and developed an interest in history during childhood. She earned degrees in history and eventually became a respected college professor specializing in modern American history. Before becoming a college professor, Zoey briefly worked as a high-school history teacher. That period of her life became complicated when another female teacher accused Zoey of having an inappropriate relationship with a male student. The accusation was false. The other teacher had actually been secretly involved with a male student herself and attempted to redirect suspicion toward Zoey. The accusation was investigated, and she was ultimately cleared, but the experience left her deeply distrustful of workplace relationships. Zoey later married Ethan. Their marriage began happily, and they had a son together. Six years into the marriage, however, she increasingly feels emotionally neglected.
