Restaurant owner George Carson was taken aback when he discovered that one of his cleaners, Consuelo Ruiz, was sneaking leftovers from customers’ plates. George owned The Kettle of Fish, a prestigious New York restaurant that had been in his family for generations. While his manager, Colt Farlow, was in charge of day-to-day operations, George frequently dropped in unannounced to keep an eye on things. One late night, George noticed Consuelo discreetly scraping leftover food from plates into a bag under her apron. Instead of confronting her, he decided to follow her and understand her actions.
As Consuelo left the restaurant, George trailed her through the city’s quieter streets until she entered an old, condemned factory building. Curious, he peered inside and found her distributing the food to four young children. George was shocked to see that Consuelo was bringing these scraps home to feed her family. Deeply disturbed, he slipped away, determined to address the situation without causing her embarrassment.
The next day, George summoned Farlow to his office. With a mix of controlled anger and disappointment, George confronted his manager about Consuelo’s situation and the fact that Farlow had allowed her to live off scraps. He revealed that he knew Farlow had been skimming from her wages, leaving her with barely enough to survive. Farlow stammered, attempting to deflect blame, but George was resolute. He dismissed Farlow on the spot, outraged by his exploitation of someone so vulnerable.
When George called Consuelo into his office, she feared the worst. But instead of reprimanding her, George offered compassion and understanding. He assured her that not only would she receive a full, fair wage, but she and her children would also have a safe place to live. George explained that his grandfather, too, had been an immigrant who arrived with little more than hope and hard work. Thanks to the kindness shown to him, he had built a legacy, and George wanted to pay that generosity forward.
With tears in her eyes, Consuelo expressed her gratitude, deeply moved by George’s empathy and support. George told her, “One day, maybe you or your children will help someone else. That’s the true American Dream.”
Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis Hold Hands on ‘Freaky Friday 2’ Set as Sequel Begins Filming
It has been reported by Walt Disney Studios that the sequel will open in theaters in 2025.
Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are back together.
In a recent picture taken on the set of Freaky Friday 2, Lohan, 37, and Curtis, 65, join hands and smile more than 20 years after their first comedy came out in 2003. They switched positions and sat on the other star’s trailer’s steps.
The news, which was revealed by Walt Disney Studios on June 24, verified that the sequel is now in production and scheduled for a 2025 theatrical release.
The new movie is “in the process,” according to Lohan, who told PEOPLE in March that she was “excited to work with Jamie again and see how much further we can take it.”
We chat about it virtually every other day anyhow, so I think this will be a lot of fun,” Lohan continued.
The two costars got back together for an interview with The New York Times to celebrate Freaky Friday’s 20th anniversary, during which they talked about their “easy” friendship.
“After meeting in an office and going through the read-through, it was really game on.” Curtis remarked, “I had to let go of all control mechanisms and just let it fly. Lindsay was equally supple as I was. She has an extremely remarkable acting facility if you watch “The Parent Trap.” It was a significant task. It was a large-scale event. Our connection was also quite simple.
