Rachel Schaecter’s dream of becoming a foster mother is right within her grasp, until her meddlesome neighbor tries to set her up with her handsome son. What’s worse? He’s the father of her favorite kindergarten student! She can’t afford to let anything come between her and her dream, no matter how gorgeous he may be. Can these two determined people trust in the miracle of Hanukkah to let love and light into their lives?

Let’s chat about what to eat

As the character, please answer at least six questions. You may answer all, or come back for a second interview and answer more of them. Your choice.

First, what is your name and how old are you?

My name is Rachel Schaechter, and I’m twenty-eight.

What is the time period in which you live?

Current day New York City.

What is your favorite meal?

I’m not a picky eater, and I love latkes, which are fried potato pancakes we eat at Hanukkah. And we usually have brisket for dinner, so let’s say that’s my favorite meal—brisket with latkes at Hanukkah.

Tell us about a meal or food that says “home” to you.

Well, one the main reasons I love our Hanukkah meal is that my mom used to make it every year when I was growing up. It reminds me of the warm holiday times with family sitting around the table, with the glow from the menorahs in the window.

When you find yourself with some type of unknown food on your plate, what do you do?

I’ll try it, especially if there’s a sauce. And it also depends on whether or not I’m with other people or not. For example, when Ben and I went to the Bryant Park Winter Village, there were lots of different food vendors there, in addition to the shops. I would have liked to try something new, if Ben and I hadn’t had a disagreement forcing me to leave early.

Do you keep snacks on hand, and if so, what are they?

Chocolate is a must. I’m a Kindergarten teacher, and I need a pick-me-up during the day, so I keep a stash of chocolate snacks in my desk drawer.

How much coffee or tea do you drink?

Usually just a cup of coffee a day—although i’ll admit that sometimes the size varies.

Who are your favorite people to share meals with?

Honestly, Benjamin and his daughter, Jessie. When he’s not being bossy, he’s a wonderful man to be around. And his six-year-old daughter is my favorite student. She’s so adorable and smart.

Tell us what your author eats or drinks while writing about you.

Coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon, and water any other time.

If your author has a pet, what does she feed the animal?

Well, her dog is old and very finicky, so she’s been trying a lot of different food to try to get her interested. Currently, her dog likes turkey dog food and turkey bacon treats.
