All thanks to Mina. But, let's back up a bit. Rachel is a kindergarten teacher at Salem Elementary in Apex, NC and Carl is a K9 Police Officer in Apex, NC. Each year, the K9 Police Officers and their dogs visit Salem to do a demo for the kindergarteners. That is where Rachel first saw "Officer Baker". During the demo she texted her kindergarten team saying "Officer Baker is cute" (she still has the text to prove it). Now we can fast forward 1-2 months to Mimosa Fest. It was girls day out and Mina's first time out since having her daughter (if you know you know). As the day progressed, Mina was determined to set Rachel up with someone from the police department since her husband, Palak (who Rachel happens to have known since high school), is a police officer. Rachel remembers seeing Officer Baker at her school and brings up a picture from that day to show Mina. Mina immediate shouts "CARL! I KNOW HIM" and proceeds to FaceTime him. Carl answers the FaceTime while he is getting ready for work and Mina is asking him if he thinks I'm cute. Of course, Rachel is mortified and trying to cover her face. Carl agrees to meeting her and Mina sets up a double date at Oaklyn Springs in Downtown Apex. At the end of the date, Carl asks for Rachels number and well....they haven't gone a day without talking since.
