This is a completely new story arc for a Disney Channel character since previous ventures always focused on teenage characters like Hannah Montana, whereas real life actress Debby Ryan, who plays as Jessie Prescott, is already 20 years old in real life (her alter ego, humorously, is older at age 22).
She is a bubbly young woman who just turned 31, trying to find herself after a shocking breakup with her boyfriend, whom she caught cheating. She has been a teacher since 2006 and she loves to play the handbells. Jess enjoys crafting, but doesn't have much time for it anymore. She also writes Nancy Drew fan-fiction.
