With the father, Morgan, a famous movie director, and the mother, Christina, a supermodel turned fashion mogul, always jet-setting all over the world, Jessie is often left to fend for herself in caring for their four rambunctious children: Emma, Luke, Ravi and Zuri, along with the family pet, Mrs.
Kipling, a seven-foot lizard.
