Trask. Tess' first challenge is to survive working with her antagonistic, uptight immediate boss, Mrs. Bryn Newhouse, otherwise known as the "company witch". Tess' best friend, Lana Peters is a secretary, who's more interested in doing her nails and rooting for Tess than in getting ahead herself. Meanwhile, Everett Rutledge is a fellow junior executive, who is charming but eager to please. Libby Wentworth is Tess' world-wise, "permanent temporary" secretary, who's also a moonlighting musician. Back home each night on Staten Island, Tess has to contend with her doting parents Joe and Fran. Tess also has to contend with Sal Pascarella, the blue-collar neighborhood Romeo, who constantly pursued her.
