Here we are: The cast of the instantly iconic Baby-Sitters Club reboot— Shay Rudolph (Stacey), Momona Tamada (Claudia), Malia Baker (Mary Anne), Xochitl Gomez (Dawn)—and me, totally fifth-wheeling as the TV stars and real-life besties host a (socially distanced) BSC reunion. (Due to COVID-19, Florida-based cast member Sophie Grace, who plays Kristy, was unable to join us.)

ICYMI: Netfl ix’s updated take on Ann M. Martin’s beloved books from the ’80s and ’90s follows a group of five middle school friends and their grassroots babysitting business. As soon as the series dropped in July, viewers flipped for the lovable, stylish cast, who perfectly portrayed the feel-good, binge-worthy friendship story we didn’t know we needed.
