Jayshree, the second woman who represents 'Winter', is a trained Bharatanatyam dancer who comes to America. Though happily married, she's unable to have children. After she adopts her children from India, she celebrates the adoption by using her dance skills to fund-raise for the orphanage her children came from. She melds her classical Indian dance skills to the tune of Western jazz music, bridging a connection from her past to her present home.
