Abrams portrays 13-year-old Tina, Erica Sinclair’s frenemy featured in the viral ‘pie scene’ of Episode 3, ‘The Turnbow Trap,’ where Erica attempts to sedate the Turnbow family amid Vecna’s threats.
Her Florida roots and early career in theater and commercials starting at age 5 are noted on IMDb, with credits including the 2023 film R.A.D.A.R.: Adventures of the Bionic Dog and the short Just Deal With It, but no birthdate appears.
Rise from obscurity via pie scene fame
Abrams’ breakout moment in Stranger Things Season 5, released in parts starting November 26, 2025, has fans scouring for details, contrasting with documented ages of co-stars like Priah Ferguson (Erica, 19 IRL playing 13) and Nell Fisher (Holly Wheeler, 14).
Industry norms protect young actors’ privacy, potentially explaining the gap; no Netflix Tudum profiles, Variety reports, or agency listings disclose her age. Fan speculation on Reddit and wikis ranges from teen newcomer to adult in a teen role, but remains unverified.
Unlike veterans like Millie Bobby Brown (21 IRL as 17-year-old Eleven), Abrams lacks press kit bios or interviews revealing personal data. Her Instagram (@carolineelleabrams) shares reels with Ferguson but omits age clues. Production policies for minors prioritize shielding from scrutiny, aligning with Coogan laws and union rules.
