Todd Casey

Todd Casey is the name of a man who visited the Inn in July 2008. He was transformed into a housewife from Connecticut named Anne-Marie Adkisson and spent a year living as her. At the time he visited the Inn he described himself as being 23 years old, meaning he was born in either 1984 or 1985.

Early Life and Transformation
Todd was a native of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He mentioned that he was born "out of wedlock" and that his parents "tried to make it work [but] it just... didn't." He described himself as "proudly a slacker." In high school, Todd and his best friend/"step cousin" Bryan Lewis were in a band called the Mercy Mamas, which were banned from performing the talent show due to their outrageous on-stage antics, which included cross-dressing. Todd played bass in the band, and shared vocals with Bryan.

At the time of his transformation, the two were living hand-to-mouth in a ratty apartment in Toronto. Todd worked a low-paying job doing layout for an underground newspaper.

The two spent the months between May and July 2008 traveling up the East coast of the United States, from Miami to Maine, looking for "shows and ho's," doing whatever they could to survive and documenting their experiences for a series of articles. Upon reflection, Todd believed that if he had never been to the Inn, he still would have had a "massive cache of awesome stories" including an incident in a Cessna plane he described as "seemingly Skynyrd-style," but that it seemed much less important afterward.

Prior to embarking on the trip, Todd had had a falling-out with his on-again-off-again girlfriend, Alia Frye. Upon arriving in New York City in June, he placed a call to her in an attempt to reconcile. They agreed, tentatively, and after hearing that the two were looking for a place to stay in Maine, Alia mentioned that her parents had had a reservation for the Trading Post Inn in July that they couldn't use due to an injury.

Upon arriving in Maine, the two noticed a pair of suitcases in the closets of their room, which they briefly considered selling but opted not to in case the owners returned. Bryan also spent the night with a woman while Todd was out of the room.

Early the morning after attending a concert by a band called Slowhead, Todd awoke to find a young girl sitting by the window smoking weed, wearing Bryan's t-shirt. He soon found that he had been transformed into a 33-year-old woman named Anne-Marie Adkisson, and that Bryan had become her niece by marriage, 14-year-old Elyssa McClay.

Roughly two weeks later, Todd's identity was taken up by "Deb," a 40-something receptionist from Jacksonville, Florida, while Bryan's was claimed by 27-year-old "Amanda," the receptionist at her office.

As Anne-Marie
Todd and Bryan travelled to Connecticut, where Todd was to live with Anne-Marie's husband Hal, a dentist, and their two kids, 12-year-old Hayley and 10-year-old Conner. Their house was described as resembling the one from "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," with a lawn "big enough to play baseball" on. Todd brought two small reminders of his real life: his iPod, and a vintage t-shirt of the band The Clash that was a gift from Alia.

Todd was relieved to find that Anne-Marie's marriage to Hal was "cold, comfortable, sexless." He undressed himself privately for weeks so as to not arouse Hal, until realizing that Hal and Anne-Marie "just plain aren't doing it" anymore. He theorized at one point that Hal was cheating, but never confirmed this due to not wanting it to be his problem. Todd began to embrace a routine of cooking, cleaning, and minding the kids Hal provided the house, car and lifestyle, "and nobody bothers the other."

Initially, Todd struggled with the parenting aspects of his role as Anne-Marie, with Conner getting in trouble at school due to not completing his homework, and Todd unwilling to force him, or speak to Hal about doing so after an early conflict over Todd's decision to secretly abolish bedtime for the kids.

In September, the real Anne-Marie re-appeared in the body of Julia DiFrancesco. She was hired as a receptionist at Hal's dental practice, while the real Ellie worked as a nanny in the neighborhood under the name of Kalli Jackson. At the time, Anne-Marie claimed she "didn't know" if she would return to her normal life, citing Julia's lack of finances and the potentially suspicious nature of Julia visiting the Inn while Anne-Marie was absent, given both would be acquainted with Hal.

One of the first major tests of Todd's domestic abilities came at Thanksgiving, when he had to co-ordinate a large dinner with Anne-Marie's sisters-in-law, the "bitchy control freak" Trudy (mother of Elyssa,) and more "cool" Jen, who was close in age to Todd and Bryan. (Anne-Marie was also present as Julia.)

Getting Closer With Hal
Despite Todd's suspicions that Hal might be cheating with "Julia", the real Anne-Marie counselled him to try sleeping with her husband in order to improve her mental and physical state. She noted that although the couple were not as frisky as they had been in their youth, they had never gone this long without making love before. Around this same time, Hal gave his consent to a vasectomy, which had been a point of contention between the couple for roughly a year before Todd's arrival.

Following this procedure, in late January, Todd and Hal "consummated" for the first time. Todd had mixed feelings about this event, acknowledging that it was not physically unpleasurable, and skirting the moral compunctions he had about making love to another woman's partner. He concluded he should enjoy it if he could because for the next six months it would be all he'd have. He noted that "married sex" did not include anything out of the ordinary, and that following dinner and drinks the encounter lasted only 10 minutes. He described the act as disappointing but pleasant despite its brevity, and that the most uncomfortable part was the closeness Hal demonstrated afterward, as he suddenly became aware of Hal's true affections for his wife.

In March, Todd planned a weekend trip to New York with Hayley in order to resolve the neglect that the daughter was feeling, stemming from "Anne-Marie's" increasingly close relationship with her "niece," Ellie. However, Hal objected, saying he was not "made of trips," citing his concerns over Anne-Marie's extended visit to Maine the previous year and her apparent plans to visit again. He indicated that he would also like to go to Maine, as it could be "romantic."

During his visit to New York, Todd arranged a meeting with a group of other "Inn Victims" - Darren Bridger (who by now had been Jamie Connor for nearly two years) and Ginessa (formerly Mark Lange.) The two compared notes about married life, with Todd likening his time as Hal's wife to "another person's shoes" - not a perfect fit, but broken in. He said it was frustrating to not always come first in his own life, having to balance his own interests with those of Anne-Marie and the family.

When asked by Ginessa whether he would have had a problem remaining female, if it were to come without the "baggage" of being Anne-Marie, Todd gave no definitive answer, later asserting that it wasn't being female that he disliked lately, but being Anne-Marie.

Upon meeting Darren, Todd could not resist the urge to press his buttons by making reference to his and Ginessa's sexual predilections, and openly clashing with him about their differing levels of comfort about femininity. Todd later reasoned that it was because, even in the appearance of the dainty and unassuming Jamie, Darren projected the kind of "jocky alpha-male" attitude that Todd had always disliked.

Shortly after returning from New York, Todd discovered a bra in the cushions of the couch, which he assumed to belong to "Julia," who had agreed to housesit for the evening. Todd initially confronted the real Anne-Marie about bringing a man over to her family's home, but she revealed the bra was in actuality "Kalli's", which the younger woman admitted. She had struck up a relationship with Julia's ex, Todd Jones. While Anne-Marie and Todd both disapproved of the relationship, Kalli insisted it was her decision and she was being responsible. She then accused the two of hypocrisy because of Todd's relationship with Hal, which Todd dismissed by saying "Sex isn't love."

Meeting Donna
Over the course of his first months as Anne-Marie, Todd made the acquaintanceship of a neighbor of Anne-Marie's named Donna. He described her as an "odd bird," cloying in her friendship with Anne-Marie. After finally agreeing to visit Donna's house under the pretense of setting up her new TV, Donna revealed she, too had been to The Inn at some point in her life.

Appearance
As Anne-Marie, Todd resembled a 33-year-old woman with a "round-hipped" physique, complete with love handles, cellulite, and "that little belly pouch that hangs over just a bit." She had bob-length brown hair with reddish highlights. She resembled then-Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin enough to dress as her for Halloween.
