Sofia Vergara is coming to Springfield. The "Modern Family" star is giving voice to one of "The Simpsons" characters in an upcoming episode with the possibility of returning in the future. First look of her character shows a rather different appearance compared to the actress in real life.

Per EW, Vergara's character is an attractive teacher named Mrs. Berrera who becomes Bart's love interest. Bart starts drinking milk substitute that contains bad hormones and triggers early puberty. Growing mustache and all, he begins having feeling for one particular teacher. "She's more forgiving than Mrs. Krabappel was of Bart. She pays special attention to him," executive producer Al Jean described Mrs. Berrera.

To make things complicated, Vergara's character is not only Bart's object of affection but also Principal Skinner's. "We thought it'd be interesting if both Bart and Skinner have a crush on the same woman," Jean said. "She feels Skinner is a wounded soul that she wants to take care of. She is a vet like Skinner, and that's his attraction."

Since Mrs. Krabappel's death in a 2013 episode, the position of teacher in Bart's school is not "regular". Jean noted that Vergara's character might or might not recur but the actress "was really funny and we were glad to have her. And as she said, 'I'm just 100 yards away on the FOX lot.' " Vergara's sitcom is shot in the same studio as "The Simpsons".

"Teenage Mutant Milk-Caused Hurdles" will air as part of season 27 which kicks off Sunday, September 27 on FOX.
