If growing up the only daughter of Evergreen's boardwalk pizza king taught her anything, it's how to eat or be eaten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe's done indulging family drama; she refuses to play games with her ex; and she definitely will not be falling for the viral vegan homecook she accidentally dragged on TikTok after one too many margaritas. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut when June comes face-to-face with the Adonis himself, Joey Pagano is nothing like his digital footprint.
