Paige Whedon

Paige is Senator Robert McCallister's teenage daughter, thrust into the sprawling, opinionated Walker family when her father marries Kitty. She's watchful and a little guarded at first, sizing up a new stepmother and a houseful of relatives she didn't choose, trying to figure out where she fits without losing what's hers.

Kerris Dorsey plays Paige with none of the sitcom-teen shorthand — she's wary rather than sassy, and the show lets her adjustment to a blended, chaotic family unfold in small, believable beats instead of a single tidy episode. It's a quiet, grounding presence amid the Walkers' constant noise.
