El ángel de Aurora (English title: Aurora's Quest)[2] is a Mexican telenovela produced by Roy Rojas for TelevisaUnivision. It is based on the 1986 Mexican telenovela Muchachita created by Ricardo Rentería.[3] The series stars Natalia Esperón, Jorge Salinas and Rafael Novoa. It premiered on Las Estrellas on 29 July 2024.[4]
In her youth, Aurora became engaged to Antonio Murrieta, who loves her deeply. Aurora's sister Jezabel, seeing her happiness, is filled with jealousy which causes her to devise the unthinkable with the intention of destroying her. At the height of her resentment, Jezabel puts Aurora in the hands of a bricklayer nicknamed El Pintas, who rapes her, impregnating her with a son to be named Gabriel. Jezabel's manipulations and lies cause Antonio to abandon Aurora, with Gabriel in her arms, on their wedding day. Blinded by his sexism, Miguel, Aurora's father, snatches her son from her and gives him to Pascual Santos, who raises him with his wife Victoria.[5]
Twenty-nine years later, Gabriel is now Ángel Santos, a humbly educated man, but with the strongest family values. Fate brings Ángel's life to Helena Murrieta, Antonio's daughter. Helena is an idealistic and entrepreneurial young woman who starts working at Corporativo Campero as Marketing Manager. Ángel and Helena fall in love, however, Helena is the girlfriend of Demián, Jezabel's son, who has inherited from his mother the ability to manipulate, and because of his ambition, he is willing to step over everyone, even his own family.
Despite all the years that have passed, Aurora does not lose hope of finding her son Gabriel and discovers that she can love again thanks to Julio César Rey, a lawyer at Corporativo Campero, where she is president. However, Antonio's return to Aurora's life, as a shareholder partner of the company, will bring back memories of betrayal and pain from when he left her abandoned at the altar.
