The ABC Family show The Fosters features a lesbian couple raising a family of foster children.
Argota plays the rambunctious lead singer of a band.
“My character is a high school dropout who is the lead singer of the band; who is really stubborn and sassy, has a mind of her own and doesn’t let anybody push her around,” said Argota to ABS CBN. “It’s so rare that you get to see an Asian girl get to play that because usually we’re the super smart girl or the sidekick and things like that.”
