Angie Because he was lower class than she was and didn’t have proper manners. She thought she was above him, then he kissed her in an abrupt and ungentlemanly way. Also, I think she resented being used as a lure in her father’s politics. Also, because Hammett is not great at making women who have subtle or nuanced thoughts & emotions.
Luiz Jiménez She hated politics, and was aware of Father trying to use her as a bite for Madwig.
Jeanette He wasn't exciting enough for her.
