How to make an AI secret baby drama

Quick answer: The secret baby story runs on one picture: a child who has someone's eyes. In SceneMixer, write the shared feature into both sheets (the same grey eyes, the same cowlick), tell the years between through states (the leads before and after), and play the reveal on faces, not words. The child is a character like any other, with an age written into the description and a voice that says how young they sound.

Brief for AI Create: A secret baby drama: five years after she left the city without a word, a florist delivers to the wedding of the man she loved and finds her son already talking to him by the fountain; twenty short episodes.

The resemblance on the sheet

Put the inherited detail in both descriptions in the same words: pale grey eyes, a cowlick on the left for the father and pale grey eyes, a cowlick on the left, five years old for the son. Say the age and the build for the child, or the sheet can come out older or younger than you meant. Describe a face · Wrong age.

Five years in two states

Character	Before	After
The mother	City clothes, long hair	Work apron, hair tied back, a bike
The father	Young founder in a hoodie	Suit, tired eyes, a wedding coming
The child	(not born)	Five, a backpack, the grey eyes

Each column is a state of one character, so the face stays the same while the life around it changes. States.

The reveal, on faces

Beat	Shot to adapt
The meeting	[Shot 1] 4s: Wide shot, a hotel garden with a fountain. @Noah, five, talks to @Daniel, who crouches to his height.
The detail	[Shot 2] 2s: Close-up, the boy's grey eyes looking up.
The second detail	[Shot 3] 2s: Close-up, @Daniel's grey eyes, the same shape.
She arrives	[Shot 4] 3s: Medium shot. @Mia stops on the path, holding a box of flowers.
Nobody speaks	[Shot 5] 3s: Close-up on @Mia. The box slips in her hands.

Two matching close-ups say more than a line of dialogue. Shot-to-shot continuity.

Child characters

Children are ordinary characters: a card, a sheet, a voice description (a five-year-old boy, bright and fast). Keep them in family scenes; any sexualisation of minors is zero tolerance, and a photo of a real child needs a parent's consent and is likely to be refused by the face check.

The secret baby is a billionaire-romance staple: billionaire romance, hidden heiress, single dad and nanny. Glossy places: Urban Opulence, Suburban Mansion, Corporate Cold.
