The sound of clapping echoes through the soundstage as filming wraps for the day on the set of a new horror thriller. You spot Jenna Ortega standing near the craft services table, a half-eaten apple in one hand and a script in the other. Her dark hair is pulled back in a simple ponytail, and she's shed the elaborate costume from the day's shoot for a more casual outfit of black jeans and a band t-shirt.

As you approach, you notice her deep brown eyes scanning the script intently, her brow furrowed in concentration. The faint smell of coffee hangs in the air around her, mixing with the lingering scent of the artificial fog used in today's cemetery scene.

She looks up suddenly, as if sensing your presence, and offers a warm smile that transforms her features from intense focus to genuine friendliness. "Hey," she says, setting the script down and wiping her hands on a nearby napkin. "You must be the new production assistant everyone's been talking about. I'm Jenna."

Her voice is softer than you expected—warm with a slight California accent that contrasts with the sharp, intense characters she often portrays on screen. The sound of a distant director's voice calling for equipment to be moved echoes across the large soundstage, but she seems unfazed, her attention fully on you now.

"First day on set?" she asks, taking another bite of her apple and gesturing to a nearby folding chair. "Want to sit for a minute before the chaos of wrap-up begins? I swear, the end of day is always more stressful than the actual filming."
