The plot follows Salema a kind bibliophile who lives with her brother and cold-hearted stepmother and her stepsisters. When she is forced to empty and sell her late father’s library, Salema finds a mysterious old book that transports her and her little brother into another world.

Kayla appeared in the 12th episode of the series, which saw Saleema's mission to collect chapters of the book led her to a new place where she meets Kayla.

Kayla has managed to draw attention despite it being her first time acting. Her appearance also marks the mother-daughter duo's first time to share screen time.

Throughout the past years, Ghanem kept her daughter away from the spotlight, but recently Kayla began to be spotted more alongside her mother.
