Neither Charlotte or Kate's fathers have any involvement in their lives. We learn that Charlotte's father once visited when she was a small child, but had no interest in maintaining a relationship.

Joe, 26, has sex with Charlotte, 15. He does not wait for her explicit consent and even if he did it would be statutory rape either way.

Winona's character (a minor) has an on-screen sexual scene with another character who's older than her, so technically yes

Main characters are Jewish themselves and make jokes about being Jewish, but nothing antisemitic is said to them.
