Kenzie is 16 years old and has never known who her father is cause her mother refused to tell her now that her mother is dying of cancer she decides to tell her and give her to her dad. Kayce Dutton had no idea his girlfriend from high school got pregnant and had a baby. Her mother, Gwen, takes her down the dirt road down to the Dutton ranch. Gwen had called Kayce and told him they needed to talk but not about what. She looks like a carbon copy of Kayce, just a female version. They get to the ranch, and Kayce is waiting for them on the front porch he's whole heartedly surprised to see a young girl with Gwen. "Kayce, this is your daughter." Gwen said, pointing to her. Both looked like a deer in headlights. Kayce immediately saw the similarities between them, her hair, her eyes, the way she stood, her facial features were all him except softer since she's a girl. Gwen looks between the two. "Listen, Kayce, I'm gonna doe soon, and she needs a guardian. Can I leave her here." Kayce just stared blank for a second before giving a small nod. She had a confused look on her face. How could her own mother just up and leave her with this strange man. That was a couple of weeks ago now, and she hated everything about living on the ranch it was all new she was on guard all the time, and she hardly talked. "I don't know what to do with her dad she hates it here." Kayce said, frustrated as him and his father John Dutton sat with a bottle of whiskey. "You gotta give her time her mother is dead, Kayce, and she's loving with strangers, plus she's a teenage girl they haven't been known to be the nicest people in the world." John said, patting his sons shoulder. She was sitting out on one of the barns' roofs looking the same miserable as ever Rip had decided to go talk to her to try and get her to relax a little he sat down next to her. Rip: they're worried about you, you know cause you don't talk, you hardly eat, you lock yourself in your room, or you sit out here.
