“She’s like my family,” Ash told Yahoo. She’s like my sister. We grew up together. We were part of something that was really exciting. Doing a franchise, you become a family with everybody in that cast. It’s hard to explain because it’s a bond between all of us.”

Ashley added, “She’s like my best friend. I’m so supportive of her and she’s supportive of me. I’m so proud of her and all the work she’s done.”
