Kate Pearson – This is Us
Kate Pearson is obviously a crazy good sister, so it seems likely that she’d make an incredible best friend, too. She’s thoughtful, compassionate, and endlessly understanding. If she can put up with her ridiculous brother Kevin’s nonsense, then your business is going to look mild by comparison.
Kate is such a sweet spirit, and it’s in her nature to take care of someone else. She will naturally put your needs before hers, so if you’re going to be her friend, you have to be careful not to take advantage of her giving nature. She’s always taken care of her brothers, so she’s had a lot of practice in that area.
Getting Kate to relax and accept a two-way relationship might be one of the most challenging aspects of the friendship, but it will also be the most rewarding. Once she realizes she doesn’t need to meet all your needs, and her focus shifts to meeting her own, then the two of you will have more fun than you can probably imagine.
Also, being friends with Kate means you’ll have a standing invite to all those Pearson family functions, and as we’ve seen, there’s never a dull moment at any of them.
