Makayla and Dean met in passing multiple times in the Sutter's driveway. He would be picking Alyssa up while Makayla was leaving for work in the morning during the summer. However, they never got passed a wave hello. During Christmas break in January 2020 Alyssa had an idea that she did not share with anyone else. She asked Makayla to pick her up from work and take her to lunch. That same day, she asked Dean Miller to go to lunch as well. The detail she left out to each of them, was that the other one was coming. Come lunch time, Dean walked into A1 Steakhouse right behind Alyssa and Makayla. Dean and Makayla chatted the lunch away and when Alyssa and Makayla got back in the car Alyssa said, "So did it work? Do you like him?" Fast forward about three years of talking everyday until October 24th, 2023 when, in true Dean Miller style, he proposed to Makayla at the Twisted Olive. They owe their story to a very special sister that just knew they were meant to be together!
