In Abby Hatcher, Abby is an eternally optimistic, kind-hearted
seven-year-old girl who loves to lend a helping hand to others and
accepts everyone--no matter how different they are. In Abby’s world,
humans coexist with Fuzzlies, incredible creatures that each have their
own unique abilities that make them special, and Abby’s parents’ hotel
is home to many. Together with her best Fuzzly friend Bozzly, Abby goes
on wild adventures to fix Fuzzly mishaps and help them in any way she
can. Whenever a problem arises Abby and Bozzly always say, “Fuzzly
trouble can’t delay, to the rescue, save the day!”
In the series premiere of Abby Hatcher, “When Abby Met
Bozzly/Hair Flair Everywhere,” Abby meets her best Fuzzly friend Bozzly
for the first time. Then, when the hotel’s salon owner Mrs. Melvin
closes the salon for the day, Abby tries to help Harriet, a
hair-obsessed Fuzzly, find a new hobby.
