Y/N Hayden, daughter of Christopher Hayden, has gone through hell in her life. Turning to bad influences around her, growing up in the big city, she ends up with no place to go.
Her deadbeat Dad sends her off to Stars Hollow, home of the Gilmore girls, and is taken in by the local Diner owner, Luke Danes. After years of staying there, without much progress in getting her back on track to a bright future she could have, Luke drops the news that his nephew, Jess Mariano, will be moving in with the two.
Close quarters leads to a lot of tension, but as they say, there is a thin line between love and hate.
"He was a cad, wanted her bad
Just like any good trophy hunter
And she likes the way it tastes
Taming a bear, making him care
Watching him jump then pulling him under"
Stella has spent her entire life in Stars Hollow, working at Luke's Diner since she was 14. With an absent father and a mother who drowns herself in work and alcohol, Stella has had to take on the role of caretaker for her brilliant but young sister, Blair. The two sisters find comfort and support in Lorelai and Rory, who welcome them into their movie nights and treat them like family.
When Jess moves to town, he and Stella initially clash-he's always in her way at work and never pulls his weight. But over time, their shared love of literature and art brings them together, forging a deeper connection than either of them expected.
