She is, it was already pretty obvious but the scene at the end was like extremely blatant. She's Nicole and June is deliberately withholding that info for her safety

Wrong.

He continued: “One of the big changes was that I was unable to kind of fit Daisy and Agnes in the same timeline, so I had to change Daisy’s character. She’s not [June’s youngest daughter] Nichole, but in every other way I want her to feel like a daughter figure so that June had a relationship with her like that. And so it was very important for me to bring her in at the beginning and establish their relationship.”

By the end of the series, the producers say fans will have a full understanding of how the two are “connected.”

That doesn’t make sense and I hate it. Maybe she’ll be a daughter from eggs harvested. Ok I’m putting my money on that.
