Meet our heroine, a 34-year-old woman who found love in the most unexpected place – with a charming, kind, and funny 49-year-old man named Stephen. They’ve been happily married for a year, but there’s a twist – Stephen’s ex-wife, Tiffany, wants him to co-sign her mortgage. With three kids from three different fathers, Tiffany has chosen to stay home, relying on child support as her primary income. Now, she’s pulling at Stephen’s heartstrings, claiming it’s for their son’s best interest. But our heroine isn’t convinced.
