PRINCIPLE
CHRISTOPHERS MOM
Age: 40-55 | Ethnicity: Caucasian
Christopher Blair’s mom is a multi-tasker, great under pressure and knows how to prioritize to get things done. Sometimes a bit dismissive to Christopher’s friends but that’s because they’re over every day. She’s friends with most of the other moms of Christopher’s group of friends.
