Fan Casting Grace Seymour in Casper (2002)

Grace is a married and carrying mother who works as a high school teacher. She had a unfair life growing up, loosing her mother, and had a surgery that prevented having a son. When she meets Casper, she sees him as this child she could've had and she bounds to take Casper in as a new mother figure to make him happy and make him more active and independent as a ghost. Allowing Casper to even help her class out with magic powers. (Which one point causes her to inflate like a balloon for laughs.) And she sympathizes with Casper knowing what it's like to loose something at a young age and stops at nothing to protect him at all costs.
