Ayesha Curry is stepping into the spotlight as a leading lady. The entrepreneur and author stars in“Second Chance Holiday,”a Christmas rom-com debuting on the Roku Channel next month. She plays Chelsey, a dating expert convinced she’s cursed to lose relationships around the holidays, until a reunion with her high school flame makes her question everything she thought she knew about her love life.
This isn’t Curry’s first time on screen. Before she became a household name, she appeared on shows like“Hannah Montana”and“Good Luck Charlie,”and more recently she popped up in“A Black Lady Sketch Show”and Netflix’s“Irish Wish.”Now she’s carrying her own holiday movie alongside co-stars Matthew Daddario, Dennis Andres, and Arlene Duncan. Curry says she fell in love with Chelsey while bringing her to life, calling the character fun and heartfelt.
The trailer is already out, and the timing couldn’t be better for anyone building a cozy-season watchlist. Between the business ventures, the books, and a certain NBA husband, Curry just added leading lady to a very full resume.
