Amanda “Mandy” Ling Character Analysis

Mandy Ling is Jacqueline’s daughter and a childhood friend and sweetheart of Nick’s. She’s also Araminta’s archrival, so she plans to stay in New York with her boyfriend Zvi and skip the wedding. However, she returns to Singapore when Jacqueline demands it, as Jacqueline and Eleanor want Mandy to help them scare Rachel away from Nick. Though Mandy is cruel to Rachel and brings up her romantic history with Nick at every opportunity, her heart isn’t really in it—her mother and Eleanor want her to marry Nick, and Mandy is happy with her life and boyfriend in New York.
