Tracy
The Pool Boy
About the Job
Tracy is in her late 40s, warm, optimistic, and eager to hold on to a sense of youth she feels slipping away. After years of prioritizing her daughter and putting her own happiness last, she’s ready for a second chance at love — and Mario gives her that. His attention makes her feel seen, desired, and alive again, and she clings to that feeling even as red flags start to show.
She believes their relationship is genuine and refuses to view it through anyone else’s lens, especially Kate’s. Tracy is convinced she’s found something real and isn’t willing to let judgment or jealousy take it from her. But beneath her sunny exterior is a deep fear of being alone, and that fear drives many of her decisions. Her arc explores whether she’s blindly chasing the idea of love or strong enough to confront the truth about the man she’s brought into their lives.
