Description Alice is Molly's Bubby. She is a tough critic but only because she wants the legacy of those that came before her to live on in Molly. This includes making sure that Molly finds herself a nice Jewish boy to settle down with. With the pressure of the struggling business and the busy holidays right around the corner, she turns to a matchmaking service to try and move things along in Molly's life. Molly isn't the only one to have this change her life though. Even when Alice thinks she's seen it all, it's still nice to know that there are still some amazing discoveries to be made. | ||

Description Jacob’s Bubby, LILLIAN is elegant, perfectly put- together and deeply invested in her family and it's lineage.
