Caila, a 23-year-old in software sales from Wellesley Hills, MA, got butterflies for Ben when she saw him competing for The Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe on television this past summer.
She had a boyfriend at the time but decided to break up with him since she saw herself potentially having feelings for another man -- just proving at the time she wasn't dating "the one."
During a subsequent Bachelor Live broadcast, host Chris Harrison pointed out Season 20 The Bachelor fans really took a liking to Caila after the season premiere. She might be one to watch out for going forward, so what do we know about her?!
