“Kaavia really is the personification of hope for a lot of people like us, who maybe didn’t have a lot to be hopeful about,” Gabrielle explained. “She represents that maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And when you take people on the low points of your journey, it’s cool to let them be part of the joy. Plus, she’s really cute. And has an uncanny ability for making steely eye contact!”
And let’s face it—Kaavia is absolutely adorable. Her charm and cuteness have captured the hearts of so many, making her a true symbol of hope and resilience.
