Rachel Flax is the eccentric matriarch of the Flax family that includes daughters Charlotte, an awkward, quirky teen torn between her personal devotion to becoming a nun and her longing for romance, and Kat, a nine-year-old whose interest in swimming may be a result of an inherited gene from Rachel₂s one-night stand with an Olympic contender.
