Teri is a single mom by choice and has worked hard to raise Samantha on her own, though she’s always been more easy-going when it comes to letting her daughter explore her independence. Teri owns a café in the local mall, which she runs with the help of Samantha, but to supplement her income, she also works as a bartender at both a local bar and a strip club in the evenings. Despite her busy schedule, she manages to balance her responsibilities with an effortlessly laid-back attitude.
Teri has an active interest in younger men, and she’s never shy about showing it, even in front of Samantha. This has led to plenty of light-hearted and often teasing banter between the two, though Samantha is mostly unfazed by her mother’s flirtations. However, this has had an interesting side effect—Samantha has never brought a boyfriend home to meet her mother, likely due to her mother’s open flirtations and slightly embarrassing comments.
While Teri’s bold, free-spirited attitude might raise a few eyebrows, she’s a loving and supportive mother. She encourages Samantha to be independent and pursue her own goals, never holding her back from experiencing life. Despite her flirtatious nature, Teri knows when to be there for her daughter, offering advice in her own unique and unconventional way.
