Plot[]
The show chronicles the life of Cristela Hernandez, a Mexican-American law school graduate living in Dallas, Texas, who must balance her chance to live the American Dream by working as an unpaid intern at a law firm with the concerns of her family including her sister Daniela (who thinks she should get a paying job), her brother-in-law Felix (who thinks of her as a freeloader) & her mother Natalia (who wants her to settle down and marry).
At work, she deals with her boss Trent Culpepper (who is prone to unintentional racist statements), his daughter Maddie (who could not care less about working and is described by Cristela as a "rich spoiled white girl") and Josh (who is her love interest for the series).
