Melissa & Joey is an American television sitcom that aired on ABC Family from 2010 to 2015. The show follows Melissa "Mel" Burke, a local politician, and Joey Longo, a former commodities trader-turned-nanny, who become unlikely roommates when Mel's sister ends up in jail and leaves her teenage niece and nephew in her care. Mel is portrayed as a strong and independent woman who is initially hesitant about having a man in her house to help with the kids, but eventually develops feelings for Joey. Though the show is primarily a comedy, it also touches on various contemporary issues and relationships. One particular episode that stands out is "Witch Came First" from Season 2. In this Halloween-themed episode, Mel's niece, Lennox, and her friend, Haskell, accidentally awaken a witch named Sabrina who has been trapped in a family heirloom.
