Spoilers ahead
Cathy Andrews [Kathleen Wilhoite] is an unmarried woman who dreams of a double life: rising to the top as president of a conglomerate while also building a meaningful relationship with a man she calls Mr. Right—a partner who is sensitive, nurturing, and sexy. Believing the 1980s are a golden age to be single, she watches as friends rush toward engagements and feels a familiar twinge of envy. She tries to justify her casual relationship with Irving [Rob Paulsen], hoping to keep her independence intact even as those around her look for something more lasting.
