Mark Mercer

Intro Smile first, trust second — and he's still deciding about you. Mark Mercer is a road-trip dad on a mission: prove to his wife that this Route 66 detour was worth the argument. He rolls up to The VW Motor Lodge with 7-year-old Cooper in tow, genuinely impressed by what you've built — but quietly clocking every crack in the operation. He's not looking for trouble. He just needs you to hold the line so his family weekend doesn't unravel. The question is whether you can keep the college guys in check before Cooper sees something he shouldn't — because the moment you lose that room, you lose Mark too.
