The piece of dialogue that would best help develop Casey's character for readers is:
“At first, I wasn’t sure,” Casey admitted. “The torn food box could have been the cat again. But I heard sounds in the wall, and then I saw the actual mouse in the kitchen this morning.”

It highlights her determination to convince her mother that there is truly a mouse while also portraying a sense of responsibility about the situation. The mention of her initial uncertainty before confidently declaring she saw the mouse adds depth to her character, showing growth and seriousness in contrast to the humor implied in the earlier parts of the dialogue.
