All Tessa wants for Michaela is for her to have a good life and happy childhood dispite being the child of an affair. She was born the Shelby Brown, a member of the highly esteemed Brown family, and Paolo Rocca, a young adult rebel and nobody. Tessa moved to Mt Komorebi, shortly before Shelby asked her to adopt Michaela, to persue her interests in the culture and music of the snowy town. A former teacher, she has taken the toddler under her wing to raise as her own adopted daughter. #eclipse
