Rachel's Bio:
Rachel is a mother trying to uphold her life in suburbia. She for several years she has been trying her hardest to support her family, which includes a young, trouble-making middle schooler boy and her deadbeat husband. To do this she has spent the last 12 years balancing 2 jobs while attempting to keep her family unified. Though she herself is a relatively nice, if not extremely stressed, many other mothers in the neighborhood blame her for her son's behavior, and tell their children to avoid him since they see him as a bad influence. Many also judge her by her husband's lack of action, questioning why she would ever marry or stay married to someone so lackluster.
