Following her contract signing with Star Magic, Estrada ventured into acting and made her first screen appearance in the mystery drama Viral Scandal (2021) as Raven Ramones. In an exclusive interview with Metro Style, she revealed that she auditioned for the role twice as the production felt she was a bit stiff the first time she auditioned.[6] Her performance was met with praises from the viewers and critics alike, noting her "crisp delivery of lines".[7] The following year, she appeared in the hybrid narrative-reality show The Chosen One broadcast on PIE channel.[8] In March 2022, she starred in an episode of drama anthology Maalaala Mo Kaya as Karen Bordador, a former radio DJ and Pinoy Big Brother Kumunity Season 10 Celebrity Edition alumna.[9] The episode was named the National Winner for "Best Single Drama or Telemovie/Anthology" at the Asian Academy Creative Awards.[10] Later in 2022, she starred in a three-part special episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya as Abby.[11] The following year, Estrada starred alongside Joao Constancia and Chie Filomeno in the second season of Love Bites streaming on ABS-CBN Entertainment's official YouTube channel.[12] In July 2023, she played a supporting role in the comedy-drama Fit Check: Confessions of an Ukay Queen on Amazon Prime Video. Upon release, the series was one of the most watched TV shows on the platform throughout its run.[13]
