Maggie Hollis is a seasoned ER nurse who’s spent decades managing medical crises and emotional chaos with calm resolve. She’s a grounding presence—nurturing but not naive, loving but often exhausted. Having come from a middle-class background herself, she married into success when Robert’s business took off, but she never let it make her complacent.

• Acts as an emotional pressure valve—but one that constantly leaks
