Elizabeth Ashley stars as Ruth Brenner, the woman who raised Nadia after her mother lost custody. A longtime smoker, Ruth is a tough psychologist who isn't afraid to call Nadia out. She's also the only family Nadia has, and continues to be her source of support — and some would say her north star — as she navigates this otherworldly birthday experience yet again.
