- "Stephanie, ma'am. I don't mean to correct you."
"No, you're Billie. It's those sad, compelling eyes of yours. They're gonna make men want to save you and tell you things. Hey, we'll use that." - ―Stephanie Miller and Mariah Dillard[src]
Stephanie Miller was an escort hired by Mariah Dillard to go charm and blackmail Mark Higgins. However, Miller's loyalty secretly laid with Bushmaster and the Stylers as she sold out information about Dillard to them. When Dillard discovered Miller's betrayal, she had Miller killed along with almost every member of Bushmaster's family in her brutal revenge.
Biography[]
Helping Her Cousin[]
Getting a Job[]
Stephanie Miller was the cousin of Sheldon. Bushmaster wanted revenge on Mariah Stokes Dillard, so Sheldon tasked her with getting a job at Harlem's Paradise to earn Dillard's trust.[3]
First Impressions[]
- "If you just look at this job as being a hostess, all you'll have to show for it is ankle pain from the six-inch heels and the constant ogling that belies someone of your education. Instead, why not play both sides against the middle? You've done it your whole life. In one way in Larkville and another on Flatbush. You will find there is something in common with the rappers, the moguls, the politicians and the hustlers that come to Paradise lookin' for something. Clock that, own it, and this entire city could be yours. There are intangible benefits to being provocative, yet friendly."
- ―Mariah Dillard to Stephanie Miller[src]
Miller met with Mariah Dillard at Harlem's Paradise, asked to present herself to Dillard. She was then informed of Mama Mabel and how she empowered women to use their sexuality to move forward, being referred to as "Billie" despite correcting her. Later that evening, as patrons enjoyed drinks and music, Miller approached Mark Higgins and successfully charmed him into an affair.[1]
Reporting to Sheldon[]
The next day, Miller was called into Mariah Dillard's office. Dillard was talking with Mark Higgins and asked Miller to show him pictures. Miller took out a folder of pictures that she took of her and Higgins' affair. This allowed Dillard to blackmail Higgins.
Miller returned to Gwen's where she talked to Sheldon. She asked if she could quit Harlem's Paradise, but Sheldon told her to hang on a little longer.[3] Days later, Bushmaster took over Harlem's Paradise and Miller kissed him on the cheek as she joined Sheldon on the balcony.[4]
Death[]
Massacre at Gwen's[]
- "Billie, it was you. That's how he knew about Piranha. That's how he knew how to get to me. And where."
"Ms. Dillard, please."
"The name is Stokes. Mariah Stokes." - ―Mariah Stokes and Stephanie Miller[src]
At Gwen's, Miller watched as a man shot the camera and Mariah Dillard entered the building. Miller stood up, but was already scoped out by Dillard, now going by her birth surname of Stokes, who realized that she was spying on her the whole time. Stokes' men proceeded to shoot her in the head.[5]
