Jesse Lyles, born Jessica Lyles, is a main character in the Netflix original series, St. Brendan's.

Background
Jesse Lyles was born on March 15 in Brooklyn, New York. She is the daughter of Mark and Mandy Lyles. She had a twin sister, Jennifer, who died while her mother was in labor. She graduated from Cornell University.

Personality
The amount of people who refer to Jesse as Sunshine should tell you everything you need to know about her. She is a bright, fun, and free spirit who never misses the opportunity to make others smile. While she is softhearted, she's made it clear that her kindness is not a sign of weakness.

Even when having a casual conversation, Jesse tends to reveal random stories about her personal life. She does this so much that most of her colleagues joke about being able to recite her entire life story. The only personal story that she has yet to share with anyone except Tilda is about Jennifer. She has only ever been visibly upset around Tilda who surprisingly comforted her. Despite her off and on sadness over her deceased sister, she makes sure to live her life to the fullest because it is what she would want.
