Veronica Palmero is the spoiled and rich daughter of Ray Palmero and Claudia Palmero. She is the grand-daughter of Vic Palmero and Emilina Palmero. She is also George and Angie's niece and Carmen and Max's cousin.

She moves into the Lopez house after her mother (Angie's sister in law) dies. Her mother leaves all of her items and money to her. However, it was put into a trust with George being named as the trustee since Claudia didn't believe Veronica was responsible or mature enough yet to handle millions of dollars. She winds up staying with her aunt, uncle and cousins (the Lopez family) after her aforementioned inheritance is frozen upon her mother's will being challenged by her family relatives, presumably upset that they got nothing of her mother's inheritance.
