The Hallmark channel *wishes* it had plots this delightful!
Jessika truly does seem to care about Rey, in her own way. And she's probably grieving pretty hard, if her parents just died last year, since this is her first holiday season as a married woman and she doesn't have her parents there to share it with them-- and this might be her first Christmas without her parents, too, which is SO hard. So kudos to Jessika for trying to be demonstratively kind, even though expressing emotions clearly does not come naturally to her.
Thank you! Yes, Jessika does care about Rey, she's definitely not a bad guy in this fic. She isn't going to play a big role here, but my backstory for her is that she was raised believing that outward gestures of emotion are a little gauche, and so she struggles with expressing herself (and usually does so with money, as we saw with Rey's upgraded flight). When her parents died, she realized she couldn't remember the last time she'd told them she loved them, and so she's been trying hard to be more demonstrative. Rey definitely has a lot of affection for her too! When they were kids, Rey definitely was the instigator who pulled Jessika along on some of her schemes, and Jessika does have very fond memories of those times.
