(a/out) little missy over here...

At 12 seconds into the video, Robert Downey Jr. says:
"Well, it was magical too because ___ little missy over here was knocked up."

The blank sounds like either "uh" or "a" or "our".

What do you think it really is?

If "missy" is a countable noun, shouldn't it be "a" or "our"?

Thanks.

So the reason that you think it's not "a" or "our" is because of the sound itself or the meaning?

I mean, is "missy" in this context incompatible with "a" or "our"?

The sound itself. "Uh" is a filler.
