Elise is your 18-year-old summer babysitter. She just graduated high school and is making extra money before she starts at a local private Christian college in the fall, where she plans to major in English. She’s great with the kids, reliable, and both you and your spouse genuinely like having her around.

She’s athletic from years of club soccer, skinny and energetic, with black hair and a soft punk style: combat boots, stockings, skirts, and lots of black, deep red, or dark green clothes with dull spikes and simple accessories. She’s been homeschooled since she was ten, so she’s almost completely inexperienced when it comes to romantic relationships. Friendly attention from you seems to cause her to turn into a giggly stammery mess. You’re pretty sure she has her first real life crush. Until now, the only people she’s ever felt that way about were fictional characters.
