Esther was a teenager, and a 'big sister' and playmate to the Muppets. With the line: Hoi Tom, wat ben jij nou aan het doen? (Hey Tom, what are you doing there?) she entered her debut in Sesamstraat on screen. It was Tommie's birthday and he was fitting all kind of hats, when Esther entered the room. Her advice was to wear a bathing cap he was just fitting, and just go for a swim into the water. She left the show and moved to America in 1988. Lot Lohr would take over the role of the teenage girl, followed by Elvan Akyildiz.
