Two passions, two jobs: after a serious injury and a nervous breakdown, Marlene Drack has picked herself up again. Why she doesn't need a man at her side, who the 25-year-old has instead, how she wanted to make her grandpa proud and who enjoys the greatest privileges in the young Gmunden native's life.

"Grandpa pinned all his hopes on me, his pride and joy was in the coffee roastery." Nevertheless, Marlene Drack actually wanted to take a completely different path. But by chance, or by some oopsie, it was steered in Grandpa's direction.
