Janelle Mulligan

Janelle is one of the twin sisters who come to live with the Mulligan family on their farm outside Odyssey. She and her twin, Jessica, arrived at the farm when their mother had to undergo surgery, and Whit himself brought the girls to stay. Life with the Mulligans places her in the middle of a chaotic household and its unpredictable menagerie - ostriches, llamas, mountain goats, a chimpanzee, a baby kangaroo, and Gus the baby elephant. Her most important relationship is with Jessica, from whom she is rarely far. Through the twins' arrival, Nick Mulligan found he still had plenty to learn about welcoming people who are not like him.
