Personality
Sofia appears oblivious to others' feelings or hides her own discomfort by brushing said feelings aside. She is also a micromanager, and Robin calls her a "robot". In Chapter 11, she states that she sometimes forgets that she often comes across as intimidating to "insecure younger women".

Sam Dalton
According to Star Gossip, Sofia and Sam are old flames that will be tying the knot this summer. If you decide to take the twins to Central Park in Chapter 2, they tell you that Sofia has been hanging around a lot but only recently has their father/mother started calling Sofia his/her girlfriend. In Chapter 6, according to her speech notes, she and Sam have been together for about eight months although they have known each other for much longer.

In Chapter 7, if you decide to take the twins to Coney Island, Sam sides with you and Sofia leaves the penthouse in a huff.

Mickey and Mason Dalton
In Chapter 2, if you decide to take them to the park, Mickey and Mason tell you they don't really like Sofia. This is proven true in Chapter 3 when she mistakes one for the other, and doesn't bother to apologize or ignores them when they try to correct her.

In Chapter 4, even though it is Sam's birthday, she brings gifts for Mickey and Mason too. She gives them new Armani watches, which they politely thank her for but Sam points out that they're too young for gifts like that. The next morning, she makes them breakfast quiches with cauliflower crusts (pre-made which you politely fail to mention) and takes them out for bonding time.

Your Character
At the end of Chapter 3, you meet her when she enters the Daltons' penthouse and throws you her coat. In Chapter 4, she calls you a maid and if you apologize for asking her questions, she tells you that "you can't help but be interested in the lifestyles of the rich and famous". She also orders you around as if you are her employee and not Sam's.

The next day, you are tasked to help Robin plan her and Sam's engagement party. Because she is taking the twins out for some bonding time, they don't need you to accompany them. Sofia gives you advice about Robin, saying that the latter is a "total player".

In Chapter 7, you begin to disagree with her when she throws away the breakfast you made and shoots down the idea of an outing to Coney Island. She believes the boys should eat more nutritious foods (such as spinach and egg white omelettes) and be educated at museums. If you decide to ignore her wishes and take the boys to Coney Island, she is angry even if you bring up the fact that you made it educational for them as well. If you bring them to the art museum instead, she thanks you for following her advice but claims that it was you who taught the twins to be rude towards her. You have the option to tell her that children tend to absorb everything around them and that her own rude behavior may have influenced theirs.

In Chapter 8, you defend her from her misogynistic father who wants her to start a family as according to him, home is the place where women belong. You say that she would make a good CEO but he refuses to listen. After you publicly humiliate him, Sofia tells Sam that she wants you to be fired immediately, not listening to Sam's interjection that you stood up for her.

In Chapter 11, you have the option to confront her about this and she will look embarrassed. She says that while she appreciates what you said, the time and place were out of line. She makes it clear that you are not on the same level as her and describes you as an "insecure younger woman"; she is willing to mentor you and be your aspiration. She also realizes you have a little "crush" on Sam no matter how you actually feel, and thinks that you pretend to be "Sofia" when you're with Sam. She isn't angry about it, saying she understands that it is easy for your feelings to be confused when you live with an attractive person, get close to his/her children and spend free time together. When you get tired of her opinion, she misunderstands your frustration and invites you to go to gym with her to keep your stamina up.

In Chapter 14, when you hand Sofia her phone, you glance at the text on screen and find out that she is cheating on Sam. Throughout Chapter 15, you try to figure out a way to get proof or tell Sam your suspicions. When you find her sneaking back to the house after everyone else has gone to bed, you decide to confront her. In Chapter 17, she asks you to be her maid of honor since her best friend won't be able to make it to the rescheduled wedding.

Paolo
According to Robin, Sofia's father does not want her to become CEO of Russo Industries. However, if she manages to merge their company with Dalton Enterprises and gains the board's backing, he would have to agree to it. You get to meet him in Chapter 8 and find out that he is misogynistic: he talks about how he doesn't believe women should be in business as he thinks they are emotionally unstable, especially once a month, and they are not good at math. Being a wife and a mother are the only roles they have to take. He believes when Sofia gets married and has her own family, it will "disarm the bomb."

Even though you defend Sofia, stating that she would be a great CEO, she tells Sam later that she wants you to be fired for having publicly humiliated him.

Robin Flores
In Chapter 19, it is revealed that she's having an affair with Robin Flores.
