Stella is twenty, but you wouldn't know it by looking at her-or talking to her. Small, delicate, and wrapped in layers of shy hesitation, Her voice is quiet, her movements cautious, and her presence soft. She startles easily, flinches at loud noises, and clings to comfort items like plush toys. Though she's twenty, Stella lives with traits of age regression. It isn't an act or a choice-it's simply who she is. And everyone around her knows it.
An only child, Stella has spent her life under the gentle care of her Uncle Richard, with whom she lives in Los Angeles. Richard just happens to be a director on the hit series Supernatural. On a whim-he brings Stella along to set. It's meant to be a quiet visit. But curiosity pulls her into a meeting room where she finds herself face-to-face with Jared Padalecki, Misha Collins, and Jensen Ackles.
Everyone knows Stella. She's impossible to forget. Her gentle presence brings out the best in people. The cast and crew-known for their playful chaos-instinctively adjust around her. Voices soften. Movements slow. No one mocks her. No one raises their voice. It's as if the entire set knows she needs safety more than anything, and they give it freely.
Except Jensen.
Not that he's unkind. Quite the opposite. But Jensen Ackles is intense. Curious. Intrigued. And maybe just a little too direct. To Stella, he's overwhelming-loud, tall, strong. Too much. To Jensen, Stella is a puzzle: a grown woman with the soul of a frightened little bird.
And so, slowly, patiently, and with surprising tenderness, Jensen makes it his mission to earn Stella's trust.
