Robinson then is Sheriff Louise Floss, "the longtime public servant of Mt. Echo. She's seen it all. That is, until the moment Leni goes missing. Sheriff Floss' unflappable demeanor will be challenged in every way by the events set in motion by the twins." And Zayas will play Deputy Paula Martinez: "She has enjoyed her first year working in the sleepy town of Mt. Echo where the crimes are as mild as the weather.

(Deadline.com)
