The Gregory family was a typical middle-class family consisting of mom and dad, two children, and a dog. The father worked all week while mom was a stay-at-home mother who took care of the house and the children.
Annette and Sandy grew up being very close. They usually got along and did almost everything together. It was almost as if they were twins, though in appearance they couldn't look more different. Their mom was so obsessed with keeping the house immaculate that she often sent the two of them off to the park to play. She hated it when they made a mess in the house.
Being the oldest, Annette was always reminded to "take care of your sister" whenever they were out. Sandy never did a good job of listening to her older sister, however. As they grew older, it was more difficult for Annette to tell her sister what to do. While Annette was more serious about life, Sandy certainly was not
During their high school years Sandy was all about fun and partying while Annette concentrated on making good grades. She loved painting and wanted to be a famous painter one day. Sandy really had no plans from one day to the other except to have fun.
As a result, Sandy became pregnant with her son Joel. Her parents were very disappointed in their daughter and were more concerned about the scandal for the family than they were for their little grandson. They decided to provide Sandy with a home of her own for her and her child in another town, hoping all the gossip would just go away. Of course, Annette was required to live with Sandy in order to help out with little Joel. They also wanted Annette to keep an eye on Sandy.
Sandy and Annette, along with Sandy's son Joel have begun a new chapter of their lives living in their little house in Willow Creek.
Will Sandy ever grow up and become a responsible young adult and parent to her son Joel? Will Annette ever be able to establish her own life without having to take care of her younger sister?
