Jesse

Jesse is the girl of Alex's dreams. Unfortunately she's also 23 and his baby-sitter. But that doesn't stop Alex - he's determined to make it work. Jesse is a gorgeous, sweet and popular young woman who gets asked out a lot...too much if you ask Alex, who's extremely jealous of the other men in Jesse's life, especially the Adorable Timmerman Brothers. But despite Jesse's active social life, she really cares for the boys, which makes her an excellent babysitter, and she's always there for Alex and Nat when they really need her.

JESSE DRAPER: In real life, Jesse is the niece to series creator, Polly Draper. She graduated from UCLA's School of Theater, Film, and Television, and had TV roles in Broken Promises: Taking Emily Back, and American Dreams, as well as onstage in Caryl Churchill's Top Girls.
