Daughter Slut-Shaming

FATHER DISCIPLINES BRATTY STEP-DAUGHTER FOR HAVING SEX WITH STRANGERS SCENE OPENS on a vestibule in the early hours of the morning, where 18-year-old teen Veronica is trying not to make any noise as she sneaks through the door. After a night of partying, evident by her slightly disheveled look and party clothes, the teen is being careful not to wake her dad. She holds her heels in her hands to make less noise, and starts tiptoeing into the hallway. She makes her way into the kitchen, where she grabs some headache pills for her already developing hangover. Rounding the corner, she's shocked to see her stepfather Hugo, holding a cup of coffee. He has a stern look on his face and a rigid posture. Veronica is embarrassed to have gotten caught but tries to play things cool -- 'hi daddy,' she says sweetly, 'uhh, how long have you been up?' He says long enough to see that she didn't rest in her bed last night. She tells him that she was studying at a friend's house and stayed over. Skeptical, he picks up the bottle of pills, saying that apparently math gives her a headache. Veronica sticks to her story, but Hugo isn't having it, and slams the pill bottle onto the counter angrily as he demands to know what's going on. Reluctantly, Veronica admits that she was out late at a party.
