Teenage Kate Pearson

As a teenager, Kate is the middle Pearson child, caught between her brothers' spotlights and her own quiet unhappiness with her body and place in the family. She loves music, adores her father Jack, and hides her insecurities behind humor, even as she quietly aches to be seen as more than the funny, heavy sister.

Hannah Zeile plays teenage Kate with an unguarded rawness that makes ordinary teenage cruelty feel enormous — a comment at the dinner table, a mirror avoided. The show trusts her silences as much as her jokes, and Zeile finds the specific ache of a girl who loves her family fiercely while feeling invisible inside it.
