Still Here
A supernatural family comedy about a widow, three kids, and the dead husband who remains visible inside the house. The miracle is real. The problem is that he still wants a vote.
Love can keep people close. It can also keep them stuck.
Maggie Keane is newly widowed and trying to build one normal day. Inside the house, Ben is still there: visible to Maggie and the kids, invisible to everyone else, bound to the property, and convinced his presence is obviously good news.
The ordinary world keeps misreading the impossible one.
The show should feel like suburban family life after a death: casseroles, forms, bills, neighbors, school calls, and grief voice. Then a dead husband comments from the worst place in the room.
The House
Home, shrine, trap, marriage, memory, and battleground. It is warm, crowded, and emotionally over-occupied.
The Rule Board
Maggie's attempt to turn grief into household operations. Ben violates it almost immediately.
Small Haunting
Lights, doors, temperature, electronics, the dog, and one unreliable drawer. Nothing big enough to solve adulthood.
Five people. Four alive. One marriage still arguing.
Maggie Keane
Sharp, practical, allergic to pity, and trying to create one normal moment in a house that will not let her be alone.
Ben Keane
Warm, funny, intrusive, and wrong about the difference between being present and being helpful.
Nora Keane
Fifteen, dry, guarded, and unwilling to perform gratitude just because the impossible thing happened.
Eli Keane
Eleven, quick, strategic, and tempted to treat ghost dad like a family resource.
June Keane
Six, literal, bright, and publicly dangerous because Dad is home and everyone else is being weird.
Tessa, Linda, Paul
A friend who treats Maggie normally, a grieving mother-in-law, and a neighbor who makes future life concrete.
The supernatural stays practical.
Best first proof: the family dinner.
A contained proof should stage Maggie trying to host one normal dinner while Ben keeps helping from inside the room. The scene can show the whole engine: grief, comedy, secrecy, parenting, marriage, and the impossible problem of loving someone who cannot stop staying.
