Mara Mabel loves her dad's girlfriend, Mia, for two reasons: she's nice and she's rich. Like, has-a-mansion-for-a-house rich. So obviously, she's excited when she and her dad move in Mia's house. And it goes wonderful for the first couple of hours. Until Mia's son comes home. Dom makes it clear to Mara that he doesn't like her, and so she obviously hates him too.
