For many Asian Americans who grew up reading The Baby-Sitters Club book series in the 1980s and 1990s, Claudia Kishi is something of a pop culture icon, so much so that she's the centre of a new Netflix documentary, The Claudia Kishi Club.

But Momona Tamada, 13, who stars as Claudia in the streaming platform's series The Baby-Sitters Club, hadn't fully grasped the enduring influence of her character until recently (the role was also played by Tricia Joe in a 1995 film adaptation).
