Mommy see, mommy do. Brandy‘s daughter not only sings, it appears she acts, too.
Deadline reports Sy’Rai Smith will be making her acting debut in Lifetime’s Christmas Everyday, starring opposite her mother. The film will follow fashion designer Francine “Fancy” Ballantine (Brandy) as she works through obstacles and multiple projects. Fancy is determined to keep her family’s Christmas traditions alive in the wake of her father’s death and as her mother is losing her sight.
“The holidays are always about family as part of the festivities, so I’m beyond thrilled to be partnering with Lifetime on this magical holiday project and having my own daughter star with me – even though we are playing sisters!” Brandy said in a statement. “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime has become such a beloved tradition, and I’m honored to star and executive produce.”
Sy’Rai will portray Fancy’s younger sister Belle, a bridezilla who needs help planning her wedding. Debbi Morgan, Robert Christopher Riley and Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman also star in the film.
