Role in film
Emelie is inside a black car and is first heard talking to a female bystander and asking directions for the nearest post office. While she distracts her, a man abducts the bystander and puts her in the vehicle before it drives off. The victim is presumed deceased after the kidnapping.

Emelie later poses as a babysitter under the alias "Anna". She is to babysit a family of three kids: Sally, Jacob, and Christopher. The kids' father drives her to their house and he tells her it's his and his wife's anniversary, and is very glad to have found Anna for a replacement babysitter. The wife then welcomes Anna to the house and gets to meet the kids. The parents leave, as Anna watches through a window to make sure they do.

She mingles with two of the children (Sally and Christopher) and tells them they should play a game of pretend. Really, in her twisted, psychotic mind, she wants them to be just like her. Anna tells the kids by playing pretend they can be anything they want, it is their own superpower. Only Christopher, who is the youngest of the three, gives in and plays "pretend", while Sally continues to cosplay being a princess. Earlier she found out that Jacob got his handheld gaming device taken away from his mom and is not allowed to watch violent movies. Anna then tells Jacob since his parents are not home, to come and join her and the kids with her game they're playing. He plays pretend too, by wearing his dad's motorcycle helmet and coat, while also holding his dad's trophy.

Anna comments how Christopher looks like a nice dinosaur, and when he asks what Anna is pretending to be, she tells him she is already pretending. She then tells the kids she is a photographer and takes some photos of the children together playing, before taking one photo and making it look like a fight between the children where Jacob is going to strike Sally with the trophy.
