"I said, 'What are you looking for?' She said, 'A 35-year-old'," Kate told the Times Union of what her mom wants. All jokes aside, the educator wants someone who'll like going to Target with her (she hates going alone) and will help her learn to tango, jitterbug with her and make her laugh.

"It would be nice to have," she said. "I refer to it as a hockey buddy, not attached to my hip and nobody's going to get their mail at my house... Nothing heavy duty. I can't. I'm not interested."
