Rachel is a straight-talking, no-nonsense kind of girl. She’s never had it easy, and has always had to work hard to make ends meet, doing whatever job has come her way. To others, it seems that Rachel’s hard life has made her a tough cookie – but without the sweetness.
But Rachel’s steely exterior is a survival technique. Behind the bravado, she’s got a soft spot for the underdog - and she is definitely a girl who loves her family. She was her sister Ali’s first choice to step in and help look after the kids when Ali’s marriage fell apart. Rachel is no super nanny, and will give the kids a clip round the ear if they misbehave – but she’ll defend them to the death if anyone else dares to criticise them.
