Aella is a San Francisco-based writer, blogger, escort, porn star, and camgirl.
She grew up in Idaho, the oldest of three home-schooled daughters of conservative parents, who were part of a community of fundamentalist Christians. Aella moved out at age 17 after a fallout with her parents, and in 2012, after quitting a job as an assembly line worker in a factory, began working as a camgirl. She eventually became addicted to LSD, while also becoming one of the highest-earning creators on OnlyFans.
Aella has written extensively about the psychology and economics of online sex work, conducting extensive surveys and research to lay out the ecosystem of online sex workers. She has stated that she is autistic. In 2023, Aella appeared on the Lex Fridman podcast.
Aella plays the accordion (and some might also say, the mouth organ).
