Miley, also known by her family as Momay, was the daughter of the owners of a carnival named "La Vida Funland". Her father had died from a brain tumor, causing devastation to her family. Her mother Shirley had to remain independent for the children. As Shirley manages the carnival she encountered some problems such as accidents in which one of her employees died. It was then believed that the husband of the employees went into their house, causing arson which apparently have accidentally made the girl comatose. The husband remained pleading not guilty for the accident. After Momay's death, caused by Hillary, Momay and Justin's aunt who had a fixation with taking over the La Vida Funland business turns off Momay's life support machine, Shirley's depression managed to get the better of her, as she disappears from thin air leaving Justin into the care of Hillary.

As Momay passed into purgatory, she pleaded to return to earth, to wrap up all the lose ends in her life. Still in a form and a mind of a child, she returns to earth, not knowing fifteen years have passed since her death. She meets a cowardly little boy named Andrew.
