‘Abbott Elementary’: ‘The Bear’ Star Ayo Edebiri Finally Appears as Janine’s Sister

Abbott Elementary fans have been waiting for a number of crucial moments. We were all waiting for Janine (Quinta Brunson) and Gregory (Tyler James Williams) to kiss—thank goodness we got to witness that a few episodes ago, though we’re still waiting for them to date. We’re still waiting for Ava’s (Janelle James) online thrift store to become a real thing.

For the past few episodes, we’ve also been twiddling our thumbs in anticipation of meeting Janine’s sister Ayesha (Ayo Edebiri). Finally, in this week’s episode, “Teacher Appreciation,” Ayesha arrives in Philly. Off the bat, things are tense—Ayesha begins her visit by ditching her bags at Janine’s apartment to go hang out with other friends.

Luckily, Janine’s smart enough to call in reinforcements in the form of Jacob (Chris Perfetti) and Gregory. An awkward romantic interest and the corniest guy in town—definitely a good idea to bring these two in for backup. She enlists them in a board game night, where there’ll be no Settlers of Catan but instead “Drought,” a fictional high-concept game that involves pouring real sand into players’ hands and stripping them of water. (If you couldn’t guess—it’s one of Jacob’s favorite games. Go figure.)
