Mystic Pizza

Fresh out of high school, sisters Kat and Daisy Araújo and their best friend Jojo Barbosa are three Portuguese-American girls working as waitresses at Mystic Pizza, a pizza parlor owned by Leona (Conchata Ferrell) in the fishing town of Mystic, Connecticut.

Kat and Daisy are total opposites. Kat, the younger sibling, is an aspiring astronomer working at the planetarium in the Whaling Museum of the Mystic Seaport, and has been accepted to Yale University on a partial scholarship, so she works at the restaurant at night and as a babysitter by day in order to raise the rest of the money for school. Daisy's sole goal is to leave Mystic, and to have as much fun as possible while she is still stuck there. Their Portuguese mother clearly favors Kat for her goals and drive, while often questioning Daisy's life choices.
