Can either word be used?

I was unable to convince anyone, even/including my children.

Can either word be used?

Thanks.

Yes, either can be used. I feel that even implies an element of surprise on your part that they weren't convinced.

Hello, Philip, could we also add a "not" before "even" in that sentence? For example, I was unable to convince anyone, not even my children.

Thanks.
