Thanks again for the feedback! As the only person working on the game, it's sometimes difficult to imagine how others are going to play it. Sometimes that leads to me creating things that seem perfectly obvious (because I know them) but they aren't. So I'll work at making some of these things more obvious, including working some quests in that "lead" the players to discovering other girls.
My intention, in general, is for players to "stumble upon" many (but not all) of the girls. As if wandering through a real city. One of the things I loved about A Spell for All was how you saw people all over town, going to work or otherwise going about their business, and eventually you might be able to mind control them.
That's what I mean when I say that Thunderous Business so far feels empty. I don't envision people just looking for a specific girl. I envision them enjoying the wandering around, finding a new girl, with a new thread to follow, until they get what they're after and move on to more wandering around. This all happening while an overall story plays out that may or may not involve any of the characters you have met up until that point.
So thanks again. I'll try to adjust my perspective such that it's more fun/easy to find girls and get started on their quests.
As for Jesse, sorry about the questlog leading you to a dead end. I'll be working on her more soon.
Have you met Patricia and Verity? How about Elena and Liv?
If you talked to Zeus first without items from Melissa's dorm room, he sends you to get them, and Hermes tells you to summon him at home. That might be what you're missing. So go to your bedroom and summon Hermes for the next stage of the quest.
Jesse isn't complete yet. I'll be working on her soon, but in the meantime I will change her questlog for future patches.
Yep, travel around a find more girls. Check the hotel bar, the church graveyard, the park, etc. You'll find someone eventually.
This update added a few webm scenes for Elena. There will likely be more in future updates.
Update: Thunderous Business v0.2.3

Found the issue I had with Melissa, reporting to police wasn't working properly, maybe I was missing something that had to be done first... in the end I just cheated through console that police had been told and after that I could speak to Zeus about it.
My state with police before just cheating through it - I had all the info about Melissa, checked with her study group and library, but couldn't check the park when she did joga there (no option to do so). When I tried to talk with police about group or library, the conversation just cut off without any text.
I'll spend some time looking over that section of the game to see if I can streamline it for future updates.

Stuck: 11 girls show up in quests, 10 say no more quests. Melissa needs to be rescued.
Done all of Verity and Patricia, and everything else too

Yep. Needed to speak to him to get help with the flowers growing, but now when I see him, nothing new.
when I try to report the crime, I just get the 3 options of where I looked for her. Did all these, but still nothing.
Have you been told *where* she is? If not, check with Zeus again and ask for help finding someone.
Like I said, went to Zeus, got no other options other than Ask for Money which is greyed out.
Ok, so, seems I hadn’t started the Melina quest. That’s a bit tricky to start 
ok, done all of that. Her quests are now complete. Still nothing from Zeus

Have you spoken with Melissa's study group? They will meet you at the Diner at the normal study group time. Once you meet with them, they will also go to the police, which will open up more options.
Yeah, something is odd here. I went to the café on Thursday evening and it actually says that Melissa and her friends are there and she waves at me.

Very odd. When Melissa is kidnapped, it blocks her from being at the Diner. The study group is reenabled when you talk to Melissa in your bedroom after her rescue. Unless something is *very* wrong, she can't be kidnapped and at the study group.
Maybe send me your save file and I'll take a look, try to figure out what went wrong.
