Firstly, Orphan First Kill is the prequel to the original Orphan movie. In this movie, the saga of Esther will continue. In this movie, the viewers will finally know how Esther escaped the Estonian psychiatric facility. She further travels to America by impersonating a missing daughter of a rich family.
