Cindy Lee Enriquez

Paola Turbay portrays Cindy Lee, Adrian's mother who works as a flight attendant and is rarely home. At the start of the show, she and George, Amy's father, had an affair. When she was a teenager and found out she was pregnant with Adrian, she ran from Ruben Enriquez, claiming she didn't want him to have anything to do with the baby. She loves Adrian, but thinks that Adrian doesn't love her back, though she does. She was unaware of Adrian's affairs and her moniker as the "school slut" until Adrian's father told her. Despite this, Cindy continues to work, leaving Adrian alone, where Adrian continues to have sex. Cindy and Ruben are now together. She got a promotion at work which would've required her to move to New York but declined so she could marry Ruben. After a minor case of cold feet, Cindy and Ruben decide to get married the day before Leo and Betty's wedding in a judge's office. Much to Cindy's consternation, Ruben's mother has sent a completely inappropriate wedding dress to wear — an ugly red, flouncy dress several sizes too large. After a moment of anger, Cindy shrugs and she and Ruben are married, with Adrian as a witness. When Adrian becomes pregnant, Cindy tells her daughter that she will stand behind Adrian, whether or not she decides to have an abortion. This spawns an argument between her and Ruben, who is against abortion.

    To be able to see every side of every question;

    To use great feelings and passions of the human family
    For base designs, for cunning ends;
