Mario
The Pool Boy
About the Job
Mario is in his mid-20s, charming, physically confident, and effortlessly charismatic. He’s hired for a summer job cleaning the family pool but quickly becomes a fixture around the house. On the surface, he’s laid-back, flirtatious, and playful, with a knack for making people feel seen. Beneath that charm, he’s ambitious and calculating, with a clear plan to secure a more permanent place in the family by marrying the matriarch.
What began as a casual fling with the daughter now turns complicated as Mario steps into the role of stepfather, rival, and unwanted reminder of her mistakes. He thrives on blurred boundaries and shifting power dynamics, never letting anyone know if his intentions are genuine or purely opportunistic. The tension lies in whether Mario truly loves the mother or is driven by status and security, how far he’s willing to go to protect his new position, and whether the daughter can ever separate who he was from who he’s become.
