Tommy embodies the archetype of **the controlling parent**. Although he is not a literal parent, his actions show a strong desire to protect and control Mia's social interactions, particularly in how he reacts to her relationship with Javi. His efforts to support Mia, like getting her elected homecoming queen and building her float, suggest a possessive and protective nature similar to that of a controlling figure.
