In true Cinderella fashion, Kat's stepsisters do everything in their power to ruin her romance.

Along with Marano, the film also stars Gregg Sulkin as Dominic and Johannah Newmarch as Kat's stepmother, Deirdra Decker, Isabella Gomez as Kat's best friend, Isla, and Lillian Doucet-Roche and Chanelle Poeloso as stepsisters Joy and Grace. Riverdale actor Barclay Hope plays Terrence Wintergarden.
