Born in the United States to a Filipina mother and an unidentified American father, Alexa Grant experienced a problematic upbringing.
Her mother, a supermodel in America, brought her newborn daughter back to the Philippines soon after birth in the care of her nanny to hide from her family.
However, when Alexa was just a child, her mother tragically died in an accident, leaving Alexa in the care of a desperate and unkind nanny. Knowing she no longer had incoming financial support, Alexa was mistreated.
Despite facing challenges as a poor child, Alexa became a resourceful and driven young lady.
Alexa stands out for her beauty and brilliance, even despite her circumstances. She did well in school and worked odd jobs, such as waiting tables and tutoring, to pay for her education and support her nanny's family.
Even at her worst moments, her unwavering desire and drive saw her through, and by the time she reached eighteen, she had established herself as a resilient icon.
One fine day, Alexa receives a call from the investigator her father hired—who happens to be the US President—and her entire life abruptly changes.
Her father says he's only just learned of her existence and wants to make things right by having her move back into the White House to live with him.
Moving from the Philippine slums to the height of American power, Alexa has mixed emotions of excitement and anxiety.
But living in the White House is not like Alexa's fantasy. Although Alexa's father, the President, is excited to have her in his life, his wife, the First Lady, has strong feelings for Alexa.
The First Lady views her as an unwelcome reminder of her husband's past and a stain on the family's reputation.
The First Lady plays the encouraging stepmother and treats Alexa with forced civility in public and front of the President.
However, when they are alone, she turns nasty and cunning, mistreating Alexa. Although Alexa faces verbal abuse, seclusion, and efforts to ruin her image, she keeps this from her father because she doesn't want to add to the upheaval in his already hectic life as the leader of the free world.
Even with these difficulties, Alexa is still powerful. She silently navigates the political intrigue of the White House, determined to establish her value, forge a bond with her father, and find her place in this solid but dangerous world—a resilience that she has learned from her background.
Alexa is in the spotlight as the media shows interest in the President's long-lost daughter.
She has to balance the demands of the general public, her tense relationship with the First Lady, and the weight of her newfound status as the daughter of the world's most powerful man.
However, one thing is still sure: Alexa won't let her past or adversaries dictate her future.
