"J.W." Prescott is Jessie's father. He has been mentioned by Jessie multiple times, and he appeared in only one episode called "G.I. Jessie".

Lt. Prescott was portrayed by James Patrick Stuart (from Supernatural).

Personality[]

J.W. Prescott is Jessie's father. He is part of the military. Jessie mentions him often. He taught Jessie a lot of things. He taught her how to survive in the desert with nothing but a toothpick and a bobby pin. He also taught her how to fly a helicopter and use an AK47.

In Take the A-Train... I Think?, he is described as having a crew cut and a strange desire to have people punch him in the stomach. He's also implied to be highly critical.

In The Kid Whisperer, it's revealed that his philosophy was rewarding good behavior and punishing bad behavior. He either gave Jessie extra rations or make her dig a trench in the rain.

In Creepy Connie's Curtain Call, it's revealed that he keeps a military flamethrower, because he's too cheap to buy a barbecue.

In Make New Friends but Hide the Old, Jessie reveals that he stuck up for her in high school, scaring the cheerleaders to death by throwing an avocado at them and yelling "fire in the hole!" (causing them to think it was a grenade).

He is revealed in "GI Jessie" to have a falling out with Jessie over the fact that she left for New York, rather than joining the military, but by the end of the story, the two managed to patch up their relationship. He proves to be much like Jessie. For instance, he's strict, tough, and militaristic, able to play a capable military officer, as well as being highly dedicated to his career. Nevertheless, he also showed a more laid back side on occasion, as well as a few of Jessie's traits, such as telling stories about his relationships and being slightly dizzy on occasion.
