LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Meet Lea Cayanan, born on February 20, 2000, making her 23 years old, and hailing from the vibrant town of Waipahu, Hawaii. Lea, an Account Manager by profession, exudes confidence and embodies the spirit of her Hawaiian roots. 

Her warm and engaging personality lights up every room she enters, leaving a lasting impression on those around her.

Lea, who first crossed paths with Joey Graziadei at 'After the Final Rose' special for 'The Bachelorette' Season 20, is gearing up to create her second first impression on 'The Bachelor' Season 28.

Proud of her Hawaiian heritage, Lea brings a unique blend of charisma and confidence to the table.

With genuine pride in her roots and a radiant presence, Lea is all set to captivate hearts as she embarks on a journey to explore love and connection with Joey.

In a surprising twist, Lea was offered a secret superpower: the ability to eliminate any girl's chance for a 1-on-1 with Joey and secure the opportunity for herself. However, defying expectations, Lea opted not to use this power.

This bold move left a lasting impression on Joey. Her decision to prioritize fair play and not manipulate the situation to her advantage showcased Lea's integrity and genuine approach to the dating process.

What was written in Lea Cayanan’s secret letter on 'The Bachelor' Season 28? 

Lea's secret letter sparked a wave of anticipation and suspense among the cast and viewers alike, leaving everyone curious about the hidden power it held.

However, according to Reality Steve, receiving a special letter granted Lea the power to snatch a 1-on-1 date from anyone throughout the season. Despite this tempting opportunity, Lea chose a different path and symbolically tossed the letter into the fire.

Her reasoning? Lea wanted to be chosen genuinely by Joey for a 1-on-1 and not by taking away someone else's chance.

Joey, impressed by her authenticity and selflessness, recognized Lea's character and offered her the rose.
