She refuses to get along with her sister, teasing her constantly. She developed a crush on her friend Miguel, and she uses her best friend, Simone, and his best friend Reese, to try to get closer to him. His growing relationship with Charity is a threat to her, so Kay has been doing everything she can to get rid of Charity, aware she is her cousin.

Although she pretended to support Charity and Miguel, she was really trying to keep them apart.

While her plan has always been to get Miguel at all costs, even Kay isn't heartless enough to want her family dead to get what she wants. Zombie Charity has been threatening not only Miguel, but also Grace, and Kay tried her best to convince Zombie Charity not to kill any of her loved ones. Zombie Charity was defeated, but not before Kay committed the ultimate betrayal, she used Charity's essence to make Miguel think she was her cousin, then seduced him. Miguel was horrified and disgusted upon learning that
