Nora has been living in NYC, following her dreams of “aspiring comedy writer,” but teaching took over, a job she’s just quit or been fired from — it’s complicated. Before she can figure out her next move, Nora finds herself back home, in Miami– Kendall, to be exact, dressed as a dancing grape, performing at children’s birthday parties with her Abuela and Tio.
