Dear Zoe is a 2022 American drama film directed by Gren Wells from a screenplay by Marc Lhormer and Melissa Martin.

The film stars Sadie Sink, Theo Rossi, Kweku Collins, Jessica Capshaw, Justin Bartha, and Vivien Lyra Blair.

Fifteen-year-old Tess DeNunzio lives in Pittsburgh with her mother Elly, stepfather David, and younger half-sister Em.

Tess’s biological father Nick, a German shepherd breeder, lives nearby in a poorer neighborhood.

Tess has a breakdown after discovering of Elly's emotional affair with Justin, a much younger grocery store clerk.

Tess confronts her father, who doesn’t stop selling drugs, but gives the man a black eye for appearing at his home.

Though missing Em and Elly, Tess continues to live with Nick, finding it easier to forget Zoe there.

Tess ran inside to watch news coverage of 9/11, and returned to find Zoe stepping off the curb, only to be hit by a car.
