Martha "Abuela" Diaz is the mother of Tom Diaz and thus the grandmother of the Diaz children. As she tends to spoil them as much as possible, all her grandkids adore her. After hearing many praises about her from her family, she finally appears in the third season of Stuck in the Middle.
She was portrayed by Olga Merediz.
Personality[]
Although she and Suzy seem to share a stereotypical semi-hostile mother-in-law/daughter-in-law dynamic, she is completely beloved by the rest of the Diaz family. Abuela has olive skin, short curly brown hair down up to her top shoulder, and brown eyes.
