Italian-American widow Loretta Castorini works as a bookkeeper and lives in Brooklyn Heights with her parents Cosmo and Rose and her paternal grandfather.

Cosmo, who runs a successful plumbing business, dislikes Johnny and is reluctant to pay for a formal wedding.

Loretta is persistent and cooks Ronny a steak at his apartment, explaining that Ronny is like a wolf who gnaws off its own paw to escape a trap.
