Kaylee’s daughter, Amanda, went missing two weeks ago. Despite extensive search efforts, there were no leads. One day, while putting up flyers, Kaylee stopped by her neighbor Angela’s garage sale and was horrified to see Amanda’s jacket—the one she wore the night she disappeared.
Kaylee approached Angela, demanding, “Where did you get this?” Angela, startled, explained she bought it at a second-hand store near the bus station. Determined, Kaylee drove to the store, hoping for clues. The seller vaguely recalled a girl matching Amanda’s description who sold the jacket for bus fare.
Kaylee’s hope was reignited. She searched the bus station for more information but found none. Feeling defeated, she sat on a bench and found an address in Amanda’s jacket pocket. It led to a neighboring town where Amanda’s biological mother lived.
At the house, a disheveled woman confirmed Amanda had been there but was no longer. Desperate, Kaylee continued her search and finally spotted Amanda sheltering from the rain on a porch. “Amanda?!” she called out.
“Mom!” Amanda cried, running to Kaylee. They hugged tightly, both in tears. Amanda explained she had sought her biological mother but regretted it. “You’re my real mom,” Amanda admitted. Kaylee forgave her, and they went home together, relieved and reunited.
MEGHAN MARKLE’S ORCHARD NAME DRAMA: MAJOR REBRANDING DECISION AFTER CLASH
Meghan Markle is thinking about a new name for her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard (ARO), in case her current name doesn’t get approved, according to a source.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office recently rejected her application to use the ARO name, which has caused some confusion for her team.
The source mentioned that Meghan’s team might need to find a backup name, similar to what Kim Kardashian did when she had to change her shapewear brand name from Kimono to Skims due to cultural issues.
“The team is working on alternative names just in case,” the source said. “They’re a bit stressed but not too worried because Kim Kardashian also had to rebrand and it turned out fine.”
Changing the name now would be expensive because of all the branding work already done, but it’s not considered a disaster.
In March, Meghan Markle introduced her new lifestyle brand on social media and had filed for a trademark for the name American Riviera Orchard in February.
Her company aims to sell various home goods like cookbooks and tableware, as well as food and drink products such as jams and vegetable spreads. They are also considering adding a rose wine to their product line.
However, the trademark application was recently rejected. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) said that “American Riviera” is a common nickname for the Santa Barbara, California area, which makes the name too generic and hard to trademark. The USPTO’s decision was announced on August 31.
The American Riviera refers to the California area, including Montecito, where Meghan Markle lives with Prince Harry and their children, Prince Archie, who is five, and Princess Lilibet, who is three.
Another source mentioned that trademark disputes are common in the U.S. and can usually be resolved. “It looks like American Riviera Orchard has received a few routine office actions, which is normal when filing for trademarks,” the source said.
The Sussexes have not yet commented on the situation.
