Amanda Jayne Jensen as Jessa
Character Description
Jessa left her troubled home at 16, winging it to the coast to pursue her dreams of acting. After years of working in less-than-stellar projects, she's finally hit her stride, owing perhaps to being half of Hollywood's new power couple. But when her star boyfriend dumps her just before her big premiere, she can think of no one better to escort her on the red carpet than John, her first love. The problem is he knows the real Jessa, and no one else in this town does. He's not afraid to call her out, but she's also one to dish it right back to him.
Scene Description
