Career
In 2013 as a junior in high school, Ailsa got her debut in television after winning a casting contest held at her local high school in Aldaz. She was one of 20 contestants from around the nation to be cast as extras on the fourth season of the Volante Media Group's children's television show ...and A Bag of Chips. She was voted the most popular guest star in the 2014 Volante Viewers Choice Awards. She was offered a contract to appear on the show for another two seasons and hinted that she may receive her own show in the future. While her mother was hesitant to allow Ailsa to work full time for Volante Media Group, fearing she would not complete her education , her stepfather, whom her mother had married in 2012, was a lawyer by trade, and noted that compensation outlined in the contract was far below industry standard. He threatened to turn this information over to a number of news agencies unless the contract was resubmitted with an industry standard wage and provisions for Ailsa to receive private tutoring while in Fife for filming. VMG acquiesced to these demands to prevent any damage to their brand, but stipulated that her contract would end in 2018 and would be non-renewable. In addition, the plans for production of a children's show staring Ailsa were scrapped. Ailsa did receive enough credits to graduate in the summer of 2017, and her contract was terminated by VMG on January 1, 2018. She has not worked for Volante Media Group since.
