Angelisa is a California state ward who has spent many years living in Nebraska with her previous guardian, who sadly passed away last spring. Now, Angelisa resides with her older sister and continues to thrive in her new environment. She excels in academics and participates actively in cross country, showcasing her dedication and athleticism. Besides her studies and sports, Angelisa loves to hang out with her friends and immerse herself in the world of anime. Additionally, she has a talent for baking, making her not just a hard worker but also someone who brings joy to those around her with her delicious creations.

Angelisa is excited about her first prom, a milestone that many her age look forward to. However, this special occasion comes with its challenges. Her sister, who is her legal guardian, is trying to support her through a difficult time following the recent loss of their mother. The family is facing financial struggles, making a prom dress seem out of reach. Despite these obstacles, attending prom is important for Angelisa; it represents a chance to boost her spirits and enjoy a fun evening, a much-needed break from the weight of their circumstances.
