== Early life ==
Kross grew up in the foothills between Sacramento and Placerville in a strict, religious household. She has described herself as “the book nerd” during her time as a high school student. Kross and her younger sister were raised by a single mother, which greatly impacted her childhood as the family struggled to make ends meet; her father left the family when he had another child. Kross began stripping at Rick’s Showgirls in Rancho Cordova, California when she was eighteen years old to earn extra money to rescue a pony from a slaughterhouse, which she kept for eight months. Kross was a psychology major at Sacramento State, where she also studied philosophy. An agent who came to the club offered Kross the opportunity to model in adult magazines.
