INDIA ASHLEY

India is an 18-year-old sweetheart with a heart of gold and a natural talent for looking after children. Growing up as an only child, she often felt she missed out on the silly games and carefree fun other kids enjoyed. Now, she absolutely loves babysitting, throwing herself into make-believe adventures and silly games with the enthusiasm she never got to experience herself. She's saving every penny for CRUSH College and dreams of having a big, loving family of her own one day.

India has an unusual hobby: collecting tiny, vintage dollhouse furniture. She can spend hours hunting for miniature chairs, little tea sets and perfectly made beds, carefully arranging them into cosy little homes. She loves imagining the families who might live in them, perhaps because creating these tiny worlds gives her a taste of the happy family life she hopes to have someday. Sweet, patient and endlessly caring, India has a knack for making people feel comfortable around her.

Unfortunately, India is a terrible people-pleaser. She finds it almost impossible to say no, even when she's exhausted or has too much on her plate. She'll happily take on extra babysitting hours or put her own plans aside to help someone else, all because she's afraid of disappointing people. Deep down, she worries that being kind and useful is the only way to make people want her around. Learning to stand up for herself is something India desperately needs to work on, even if she'd much rather keep everyone else happy, no matter what they demand of her!
