Introducing My Mother, the Car!

Meet the Characters
Dr. Evelyn Bright (60s)
A brilliant but terminally ill computer scientist who refuses to let death stop her from meddling in her son’s life. Witty, sarcastic, and fiercely independent, she secretly creates a program to upload her consciousness into a smartphone—just before passing away.
Charlie Bright (30s)
Evelyn’s socially awkward son, struggling to live up to his mother’s legacy. When he inherits her electric car, he has no idea it comes with an unexpected passenger: his mother’s digital ghost.
Episode Highlights
