THE STORY:

Peyton was one of the earlier recruits, set with the task of making the house that Ivy built look like a home. Before Book 1, Peyton was useful in choosing their decorations, furniture, and room themes and giving them a clue what they would need. She enjoyed it immensely but was never convinced she wanted to go into such a thing for life, so she just continued her restaurant manager job and kept contributing. Her parents are very close to her so they frequently bothered her about seeing her new place, and in Book 2 she gave in and told the other housemates they could choose to be home or not when her parents came. Ivy ended up acting embarrassingly because of something Bailey did, and she had to help Peyton explain the whole house situation to her parents. Nothing of consequence resulted, and Peyton is just another one of the girls hanging around.
