Biography[]

Aytes was born in New York, on May 17, 1976. She attended Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School and then the State University of New York at Purchase College, graduating with a BA in Fine Arts. In 2004, she starred in the film White Chicks as Denise Porter, followed by an appearance on the 2009 TV series The Forgotten as Detective Grace Russell, who teams up with a volunteer group, including former Chicago police detective, Christian Slater, to solve cases of missing or unidentified homicide victims. However, she is most remembered for her portrayal of Lisa Breaux in Madea's Family Reunion, where Aytes portrays a woman who is caught in a relationship in which her fiancé beats and threatens her. In 2006, she played Nicole Jamieson in the test-pilot episodes of House of Payne and also provided the voice for Rochelle (who seemed to be named after her) in the video game Left 4 Dead 2.
