So acting runs in her blood, although Esther would sooner credit her mother’s passion for books , with inspiring her personal interest in storytelling.
“My mother is a big reason why I love films and books – anything where there’s a story involved, and a different world involved,” she says over Zoom. “I have a lot of anxiety and as a child, stories were a really big way for me to deal with it, as a sort of escape.” A self-confessed book worm, she grew up on Lemony Snicket’sand Agatha Christie’s murder mysteries, before graduating to the likes of Baudelaire and Murakami, the authors whose works she devours today.
Though Esther is London-born, the family moved to Los Angeles when she was just 11. “I had a really lovely childhood in London. I went to North Bridge House [school] and curated a good group of friends and spent a lot of time outside.” LA, however, was a bit of a culture shock. “It was a very drastic change; going to a new school and being alienated just because of the way that I spoke. I did everything I could to fit in, which is something I never really had to do in the past.

And that was through clothes, and exploring my fashion sense and gaining confidence because of what I was wearing.
