Hugo

Hugo, a character in the Mother of the Year series, is a member of the PTA (Parent Teacher Association). He is first seen in Chapter 1.

Appearance
Hugo has curly short black hair, tanned skin, wears glasses and has a mustache. He wears an orange vest with a white shirt and a blue bowtie underneath a green suit jacket. He also wears blue jeans.

Personality
Opposed to Tallulah and Vanessa, Hugo seems more kind and understanding. At the beginning he is careless and pretentious, as his brownies lead to Daughter having an allergy attack. If you take the premium scene with him in Chapter 4, he supports you throughout the book; If not, he exhibits the same personality traits as Tallulah and supports her.

Your Character
You meet him during your first PTA meeting, where you see Vanessa shut down his idea about changing the cafeteria menu. In Chapter 3, he wants to buy one of your items from the Bake Sale but Vanessa and Tallulah stop him. In Chapter 4, it is revealed that he sold your daughter the brownie, that unbeknownst to him, contained soy, which she is allergic to. You have the chance to call out his careless and pretentious behavior in a premium scene. Doing so gains his respect.

His relationship with you depends largely on that premium scene in Chapter 4. If it was taken, he says it was cool of you to stand up for your daughter and that it helped him on his personal growth voyage. He will also back you up in Chapter 13. If you choose not to call him out (and don't take the scene), he will side against you. He will bring up having read on blogs that an increase of flu vaccination leads to "the rise of disorders like depression!"

Tallulah Copeland
Their relationship is not clearly stated, although they raise Paisleigh together. They seem to have a stable relationship, where Tallulah appears to be more dominant. If you baked rugelach with Levi in Chapter 3, Hugo wants to buy one but Tallulah stops him, reminding him of his 2-week gluten free diet. If you take the premium scene in Chapter 4 to admonish him for lying, he starts to speak his thoughts against Tallulah and backs you up; otherwise he sides with Tallulah against you.

Vanessa Blackwood
Vanessa doesn't take Hugo very seriously, and shoots down his idea for an all-organic lunch menu. Despite that, they're still friends and members of the PTA.
