Summary: Melissa Schemmenti has survived just about everything Abbott Elementary can throw at her: budget cuts, chaos, and now a building fire that left more smoke than sanity behind. she's tough, composed, and far too seasoned to be thrown off balance by anyone. At least, that's what she tells herself. The firefighter who helped save Abbott is confident, sharp, and maddeningly calm, the kind of woman who can handle flames without blinking but somehow manages to set Melissa's entire world on fire just by showing up.
