Mika Arya

Mika Arya was born out of wedlock at 3:30 in the morning to oil tycoon Avi Mehtra and his secretary Annika Arya. Annika, with the promise of a new life as a pampered stay-at-home mother, saw no worries in her future. That was until Avi’s family discovered his mistress and illegitimate child. Annika was blindsided. After naively signing a non-disclosure agreement and given a payment of 50,000 dollars, Annika was forced out of Del Sol Valley to Oasis Springs where she continued to raise Mika. Annika was heartbroken and eventually turned to other vices to cope with the betrayal and the loss of her love. With her mother being absent and always in a distressed state of mind, Mika had to raise herself with little knowledge about her father or the cause of her mother’s alcoholism. Nevertheless, she grew up to be a great student and kept her head down in her books. But it wasn’t enough. When everyone in her class began to apply to colleges, Mika realized her mother’s flower shop was failing and that her family was in unsurmountable debt. Her mother was now out of the job and at home 24/7 while Mika got a job at a local diner. However, after 2 years at the diner she realizes no matter how many tips, or the side gigs, or the occasional babysitting, she wouldn’t be able to pay for college until she was 30. That is, until new co-worker Clementine Bailey exposes her to an entirely different online world. A world waiting for Mika to explore.
