Never Too Late to Celebrate plot

Here's the official synopsis of Never Too Late to Celebrate from Hallmark Channel:

"Camila’s (Alexa PenaVega) busy schedule at the dental practice where she works has left her exhausted and with little time for a life outside of her patient load. When she meets Javi (Carlos PenaVega), a substitute teacher at the school where Camila’s mother Sherri works, she takes him up on his offer to join the Spanish class he teaches on the side so she can finally learn the language of her late father. Sparks fly as Javi helps Camila connect with her Mexican roots and, with her 30th birthday around the corner, Javi encourages Camila to mark this milestone with a 'double quinceañera' to honor her Hispanic heritage. Not one for big parties, she’s hesitant at first but ultimately, Camila decides to take the plunge and celebrate in style. Through the process she discovers what she truly wants for her next chapter in life, although this new path may lead her and Javi in separate directions."
