Who is Emma Ishta, the Aussie actress who plays Kayleigh, Adam’s girlfriend in The Summer I Turned Pretty?

Amazon Prime Video’s The Summer I Turned Pretty’s third and final season introduced viewers to a few new faces – including Kayleigh, who is asked to help Jeremiah and Belly plan their wedding. Not long after, it’s confirmed that she’s Adam Fisher’s secretary.

But why all the attention? Kayleigh was briefly mentioned in the previous season as the woman Adam had an affair with, thus betraying his wife Susannah Fisher (played by Rachel Blanchard) during her battle with cancer. Her appearance adds another layer of tension in the characters’ lives, particularly as Jeremiah seems unaware of her history with his father.
