Later, she received a call about a rental offer from the owner of the car. Mia Warren is an artist and a single mother living in her car with her daughter Pearl. Perceiving Mia as down on her luck, Elena rents the house to Mia on the spot, only later calling the references listed on her rental application. The Warrens join the neighborhood and Pearl becomes friends with Elena's son, Moody. Elena leads a structured life and clashes with her daughter Izzy, who disagrees with her mom about playing an instrument and cutting her hair. Meanwhile, Pearl is dissatisfied with her own mom's lifestyle of constantly moving between cities. When Elena sees Mia working as a waitress, she offers her a job as a house manager. Mia, offended, turns the offer down. However, she changes her mind when she sees how much time Pearl is spending at Elena's house and begins to befriend Izzy.
