The Earnest family and the Bailey family have been friends for over ten years. Ashley met Jeff's sister, Fayth, when she joined her first recreational softball team in the third grade. They carried their friendship over to their school where Ashley had just transferred to. Many years went by and Ashley and Fayth remained friends. Ashley and Jeff's paths hardly crossed until the summer of 2018 while Jeff and Fayth were both living at home. Ashley was spending a lot of time at the Baileys house with Fayth. It wasn't long before Ashley had two reasons to visit the Bailey house.
