Nate hates social studies teacher Mrs. Godfrey, whom he considers his nemesis and calls her names like "the school's Godzilla", and tends to run afoul of her, the firm Principal Nichols, and the aging science teacher Mr. Galvin. At home, Nate lives with his single father Martin and older sister Ellen. Mitch Salem (September 12, 2022). "Friday 9.9.2022 Top 150 Cable Originals & Network Finals". Showbuzz Daily .
