Daliya was Joe's nanny and Manny's love interest who appeared only in "Best Men".
History[]
When Manny's art teacher told Jay and Gloria that he had a bit obsession with art love for nude females, they believed that it came from Gloria being too free with her body. However, it turned out that the real reason was Daliya, whom Manny was in love with.
Manny convinced Jay and Gloria to go out to the movies and prepared a romantic dinner for him and Daliya. But while they were out, Jay and Gloria realized that the drawings were all of Daliya and rushed back home. They started yelling at Manny, but Daliya stopped them and allowed Manny to finish confessing. She then tried to reject Manny in a gentle way, saying: "Whoever ends up with you will be the luckiest woman in the world. I am unlucky because I was born too soon."
However, Manny reacted badly because he thought that he would always have feelings for her and went off in his room angry. Manny slammed his bedroom door which made Joe to start crying, so Gloria had work with Manny and Daliya had work with Joe.
