Kylie and three other students would be the very first participants in a new, extremely experimental Ghostbuster 101 course. Instead of going on a summer vacation with her school friends, Kylie decided instead to take a summer class offered by Ray in the basement of his bookstore. Kylie could not bring herself to quit the bookstore and it grew to become a major part of her. By the time her summer vacation was on the horizon, Kylie came to think of Ray as her 'sweet uncle.' The Ghostbuster had even become a regular part of Sunday dinners with Kylie and Grandmother Rose. That temporary arrangement was meant to last a weekend, but it soon became a week, and then a month, and then months. Kylie was hesitant as 'book store clerk' did not seem very exciting, but she agreed to at least help him get his shop back in order. Kylie thanked him and she got as far as the sidewalk before Ray chased her down and asked her if she'd like a job. After seeing that Kylie had single-handedly organized the shop's basement in search of her book, Ray couldn't bring himself to charge her. Kylie spent six hours searching for the book and organizing the place as she searched, but did manage to find the book. Ray could not find the book Kylie was looking for in the cluttered space but told her to feel free to search for it on her own.

The bookstore was disorganized as its previous owner had passed away recently after a long struggle with cancer and the store's upkeep had fallen to her nephew, Ray Stantz. She went through a number of 'garbage jobs' until a search for a rare book for her grandmother's birthday brought Kylie to an old bookstore. Grandmother Rose was a free-spirited woman who taught Kylie of the old traditions of her family's past history with druidry and Rose's own Wiccan practices.ĭuring Kylie's sophomore year in high school, she decided she needed a job to make her less financially dependent on her parents. Kylie's mother and father had begun to argue constantly, prompting Kylie to avoid her home as much as possible, often spending the night at her grandmother's house. As she was making advancements in her life at school and finding friends of her own, her home life became tumultuous. It would seem Kylie was not meant to live a happy, cookie-cutter life. She only truly returned to what most would call 'normal' when she became a teenager.

As the last person to see Jack, Kylie became a focus of the investigation and underwent extensive therapy to cope with the trauma. Kylie had a rather normal childhood for the first nine years of her life but does not discuss much of this time in her life owing to a childhood friend of hers, a neighbor boy named Jack, who went missing during the aftermath of an earthquake. Kylie is the only child of Kyle and Gloria Griffin.
