Steph Lauter is Solomon's daughter. The two have a very strained relationship as Solomon is extremely controlling of his daughter as he feels her actions reflect on him. Solomon is also extremely patronizing of his daughter often talking down to her like she's stupid, something which actively leads Steph's negative perspective on her own intelligence. He trusts her very little going as far to put a bug on her phone in order to trace her location at all times. Due to Solomon's extremely controlling nature, he and his daughter often get into fights which leads to Steph being punished. Steph dislikes her father but despite this she regards what her father says very highly and will quote him often.
In Abstinence Camp, Solomon blames Steph for damaging his reputation through the rumors that she's pregnant. As a result of this, Solomon forces his daughter to attend Camp Idontwannabang which results in her resenting him. Despite this, Steph will often quote Solomon to Pete.
In Nerdy Prudes Must Die, Solomon blames Steph for damaging his reputation close to the election due to her being caught cheating which ultimately results in Solomon punishing his daughter.
