Fescues are more shade tolerant and if you have erosion concerns put down some annual rye for quick germination/ground cover, the idea being that the annual will hold the ground while the fescue takes root. The annual rye will croak out in the heat but should leave behind a stand of fescue.
Moss indicates that you may have to thin out some trees, perhaps a bit too shady.

Alrighty, time to give attention to the yard. First up, soil pH analysis. The initial test sample is showing 5.5-6.0 acid. Will gather a sample near one of the surviving moss portions.
You are good to go with a fescue.
You could optimize a bit but if you're closer to 6, no problemo as-is.
