The Babysitters | STEVE HARRINGTON {1}
Katherine Byers has always preferred the background. Quiet, cautious, and fiercely loyal, she's the kind of girl who blends into the crowd, until the night her entire world unravels. After a normal evening at the Wheelers' house, Kate and her younger brother Will are attacked by something neither of them can explain. When she wakes up the next morning, Will is gone without a trace. With Hawkins spiraling into panic, Kate is thrust into the chaos alongside her twin brother Jonathan, her best friend Nancy Wheeler, and Will's closest friends. Together, they embark on a terrifying journey into the unknown, where the line between science fiction and reality begins to blur. But as Kate faces unspeakable horrors and the growing darkness beneath Hawkins, an unexpected light finds her in the most unlikely of people: Steve Harrington. Arrogant, charming, and nothing like the guy she thought he was, Steve becomes more than just a reluctant ally; he becomes the one person who truly sees her. As the clock ticks and the dangers multiply, Kate must confront not only what's lurking in the shadows but also the feelings she's tried so hard to ignore. In a town where nothing is what it seems, love might just be the riskiest mystery of all. (season 1 and 2 of Stranger Things)Complete
