In the Lifetime movie Wrapped Up In Christmas, Heather Nash (Tatyana Ali, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air) has the difficult job of closing struggling stores in an upscale mall right before Christmas. A number of them are mom and pop stores including The Cookie Couple, Gabriel and Agnes. Gabriel is portrayed by Dan Lauria (Kevin’s dad on The Wonder Years). Agnes is portrayed by Mindy Sterling.
