\n\tWritten by Pozner, Settling is a half-hour rom-com following Jessy (Justine Lupe), who has always seen commitment as limiting. Max finds it to be a lot of pressure. But when Jessy discovers she has early-onset menopause and Max undergoes late-onset isolation panic, the two find each other. Can they conquer their fears and commit to a forever? Settling is an opposites-attract half-hour comedy asking: Can we make a relationship work simply because we can\u2019t afford for it not to?<\/p>\n
