The evil Lois Schmieckel-Turner
Dr. Lois Schmieckel-Turner (Rachael Harris) is the main villainess from the 2023 Netflix film, Old Dads. She is the principal of a private kindergarten attended by Nate Kelly, the son of Leah and Jack Kelly.
Lois' introductory scene saw Lois reprimand Jack for showing up two minutes late to pick up Nate, even going as far as charging Jack $1 for every minute he shows up late. Their next encounter ends with Jack standing up against Lois' behavior, though his choice of language led to Lois forcing Jack to publicly apologize to all of the parents at the school.
The film's progression sees Jack (under Leah's orders) forcing himself to curry favor with Lois, who had the power to accept Nate into her school, and it would include participating in a fundraiser hosted by Lois. The event saw Jack conduct an auction for two-hour sessions with Lois, with Jack ending up with the winning bid, though he later called out Lois for using the threat of turning down Nate to force Jack to comply, with the argument being witnessed by the rest of the party.
Lois raised $30,000 for the school, but as Jack revealed in the film's closing narration, Lois turned heel after the fundraiser by embezzling all of the money that was raised. The villainess used the money to keep the creditors at bay, but as the final scenes showed, the evil Lois ended up arrested for embezzlement.
