Kaylee, the youngest member of her friend group, has gone through a lot as a child. She had a mother, who didn't care for her much, and she never met her father.
Kaylee grew up in Hollywood, where her famous mom focused more on her career than on her. Kaylee took care of her little sister, Ava, on her own. When her mom tragically passed away, Kaylee had to leave her sister and start over. As she looks back on her past and faces the future, Kaylee learns that real strength comes from inside, not from fame.
And she has her friends, her whole friend group, actually. They loved and supported her, but she didn't tell any of them about her past.
