Ayla is only 5, and she for sure could not have a sleepover at Dorine's house. so Essence would probably end up letting Ayla have one at her apartment. Ayla would do her best to be a good hostess and make everyone feel welcome, but she'd constantly run to Essence for help when there was something she was worried about, like how to move the coffee table so all the girls could spread out their sleeping bags on the living room floor. Shaun would probably end up helping before the night was over, bringing some snacks kids would actually like, suggesting some games the girls could play, and helping them paint their nails, because Essence has zero idea how to run a sleepover. shes never been to one, and she's only glimpsed the ones her little sister sometimes hosted.
