rachel's parents got divorced in 2003 when he knocked up his longtime girlfriend and moved in, and they got married not long after. she hated the whole family on principle and only met them for the first time at the wedding because her mother bribed her into going. she came back to austin to finish college and always talks about finally leaving one day, but her dad's been in and out of remission for a few years and even though they're not close at all and she makes a big stink about having to go see him, she still does see him and the entire family is trying to make more of an effort to be a real family so she's constantly bumping up against all these people and they all know they don't like each other but they're trying to play nice, and i thought that could lead to some interesting interactions? i had specific ideas in mind for some of them depending on who you'd want to play, but their family's on the bigger side so you can fill in gaps wherever you'd like!
