Grandma’s Got a Gun

Evelyn Westbrook is sharp-witted, loving, and…opportunistic.

When her grandsons gather to celebrate her 80th birthday and one unexpectedly breaks his leg, she quickly devises a plan to help them rebuild their bond before it’s too late. The forced close quarters (and a dash of her strategic meddling) lead to surprising revelations, new romantic possibilities, and healing from the shared grief they have all carried for too long.

Full of laughter, tears, and a few shots fired, “Grandma’s Got a Gun” celebrates the chaotic nature of life, and the enduring power of family that helps get you through it.

but with a temper that is easily triggered.

Wesley Westbrook (Early 30’s): The youngest brother. Lighthearted, funny, and
historically impulsive. A talented chef.

Flora: Wesley’s girlfriend. Quirky and seemingly naive yet astutely perceptive.

Naomi Westbrook: Alex’s wife and a long-time family friend. Put-together and
grounded.

Dr. Foster: Evelyn’s neighbor and “secret” long-term companion. Rational, observant,
