Esther Wilson

Esther Wilson did the best she could, but her daughter Hattie still turned out to be a bit of a nut. Just past "frumpy", Hattie always wanted to be loved, and she came close with Larry Lawless, but he cheated on her with his secretary and died suddenly. Hattie now works as a secretary for Henry Von Stadt, and can't help but shoot daggers at stunning beauty Eleanor Halperin whenever Henry invites her for a lunch. Luckily Hattie doesn't prepare the food.

Hattie's older daughter, Dr. Julia Lawless was smart enough to leave the nest early and established herself a life outside of her mother's mania. Julia's teenage sister, Tiffany Lawless wasn't so lucky to escape her mother's influence and since she isn't as "frumpy" as her mother, she is used to trading on her assets to get what she wants... like that boy Rolo, who does landscaping for the Von Stadts.
