Character Background

Nick eavesdrops on a conversation and discovers that Sophie considers him to be her father, thanks to a surveillance camera. Sophie discloses that her mom, Lori, briefly met Nick at Lollapalooza three decades ago. They decide to connect as father and daughter and plan to have lunch together the next day. While Nick and Sophie struggle to find common ground, they bond over their shared love for storytelling.

Nick confides in Sophie about the decline in business at his hotdog stand since the nearby bar closed down. Sophie suggests that Nick should sell his hotdogs at Pemberton's to revive his business. After a successful trial, Nick invites Sophie's cousin to impersonate a hotdog vendor to protect his territory.

Notes and Trivia

• It is quite possible that his full name is Nicholas Foster Jr., because when Sophie and her company came to the cemetery to visit her grandfather's grave, they thought it was Nick's grave in any way until he himself came with flowers.
• Nick loves tiramisu very much like Sophie.
