## Biography

### Marriage To Garrett Grayson

Set years after the original show, after graduating from college with a major in Interpretive Dance with a minor in Theatre Arts. Chelsea met her future husband, Garrett Grayson, while visiting London. While Raven and Devon settled in Chicago, Chelsea moved with Garrett to another undisclosed city upon their getting married (going against the advice of both Raven and her own mother, Joni Daniels). After a honeymoon in Hawaii, Chelsea returned home and began auditioning for various off-Broadway stage productions.

### **Bats: The Musical**

#### (entry contains deleted details from various **RH** scripts)

Ultimately. Chelsea landed a part in Bats: The Musical, as the understudy to the star, Michaela Higgenbottom who happened to be Chelsea's longtime rival. This went on for several weeks until Chelsea got fed up and challenged Michaela to a dance-off for the lead role, which Chelsea won. Later that same day, Chelsea learned that she was expecting a baby, and upon telling Garrett, the news, also told him of her idea to name their child "Vlad," because she had just won the lead part in the play. Surprisingly, Garrett agreed to her whim. However, nine months later, when the pair were looking at their baby boy for the first time, they knew the name would never fit, and changed his name to "Levi," instead.

### Inventing The "Schmop"

Chelsea settled into the routine of being a young wife and mother. However, she had difficulty with keeping Levi from causing untidiness throughout the entire household. In her determination to keep Levi as far away from potential sources of messy situations as possible, Chelsea found inspiration, she devised a mop with a collapsible handle which she dubs "The Schmop." Her invention becomes a massive success, and even Raven supports Chelsea by filming a commercial for the product.

### Divorce From Garrett

Chelsea made a fortune after inventing the "Schmop," but her fortune was stolen by her husband, Garrett Grayson. Later he fell in love with a federal agent and left her. Garrett was eventually arrested for tax evasion. This caused her to bring divorce proceedings against Garrett. After the divorced was finalized, Chelsea and Levi move to Chicago and begin living at 352 Hauser Avenue with her best friend and honorary sister Raven Baxter, also a divorced mother of twins. After spending six months on Inventor cruises, Chelsea returns to Chicago and becomes a certified Lifestyle Coach like her mother. She is working on a project she dubs COUCH, which stands for Chelsea Offering Up Chelsea's Help. Ultimately, Chelsea pools her talents with her best friend, Raven, and forms a joint business venture, Your Best-Dressed Life.
