[name_u]Yarrow[/name_u] Chan-young [name_u]Park[/name_u] (3) is [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] and Joon’s son and the younger brother of [name_u]Waverly[/name_u]. As the baby of the family, who loves spending time with his parents and showing them the masterpieces he’s invented on the mini-keyboard they got for his most recent birthday; having a bigger family doesn’t make any sense in Yarrow’s world. Everyone’s happy with the way things are, especially him, and sharing time with other siblings isn’t appealing. He may be young, but [name_u]Yarrow[/name_u] loves his family fiercely and as he hasn’t found his best friend yet, sharing time with a new baby frightens him a little.
Unless it comes to music, he’s a quiet boy who doesn’t pursue attention in conventional means - instead liking to curl up beside his mom and dad at whatever time suits him best, or ask if they’d like to hear him play the keyboard (usually by bringing it into the room). What he does not like is being cooed over by people who aren’t his parents - you can guarentee he will frown and give you the cold shoulder if you haven’t gained permission to call him cute.

[name_f]Kaley[/name_f] [name_f]Britania[/name_f] [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] (18) is Yarrow’s babysitter, Blaire’s older daughter, and Junie’s older maternal half-sister. Being in a family who is close with the [name_m]Parks[/name_m], she sees connections with them as well so [name_u]Yarrow[/name_u] trusts her. [name_f]Kaley[/name_f] isn’t really the type to coo and “baby” people though as she didn’t do this with [name_f]Junie[/name_f]. Outside of babysitting, she’s in community college and has a part-time job giving facials at a spa. Despite taking her father’s surname, she still calls herself a “Karlton” from time to time. She’s still super close with her father however and loves that her mother is close friends with her father despite being happily married to [name_u]Colby[/name_u]. [name_f]Kaley[/name_f] loves children but doesn’t feel like being a mother soon and can’t imagine having children at just 14. As a young child, [name_f]Kaley[/name_f] was saddened by her parents‘ split and often blamed herself for “causing it” but now feels happier than ever. Her father is currently dating someone and she supports it although she’s a little nervous.

[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_u]Fei[/name_u] “Bella” Wu (18) is Kaley’s good friend, who thinks she might be in love with [name_f]Kaley[/name_f]. She respects [name_f]Kaley[/name_f] a lot for her strong personality, and thinks that though [name_f]Kaley[/name_f] deserved better and still does, she’s very strong for having actually pushed through all the drama with her parents. Like [name_f]Kaley[/name_f], [name_f]Bella[/name_f] can’t imagine having a kid that young. [name_m]Born[/name_m] to two strict immigrant parents, she’s wary of letting anyone take control of her, and has dyed her hair in an attempt to gain more control over herself- as a child, her mother made her keep it very thick and long, and she cut it not only because she hated the weight on her shoulders, she thought having a wolf cut would look really cool, and [name_f]Kaley[/name_f] was very supportive. Her sister, naturally, was jealous- her sister is only sixteen and still lives with her toxic parents, while [name_f]Bella[/name_f] has already cut them off. Her sister wants to leave someday but she knows that she’s sixteen- and while the legal age of emancipation in Toronto is 16, she knows she’s still not ready. [name_f]Bella[/name_f] and her sister are thicker than thieves and refer to each other as partners in crime.
Unbeknownst to [name_f]Bella[/name_f], her sister is being bullied in school- but her sister still hasn’t told her for fear that she’ll just brush it off like her parents did. [name_f]Bella[/name_f] has dated plenty of people, boys and girls- she doesn’t use a label, and she also has deliberately avoided telling her parents, one of them being another one of her and Kaley’s friends- they are still good friends and don’t take anything personally, and they broke up nearly a year ago. This was seen as a sort of friend awakening, and they’re glad they broke up. This friend is in on the fact that [name_f]Bella[/name_f] likes [name_f]Kaley[/name_f], and constantly torments her- “ooh, [name_f]Kaley[/name_f] boo! You’re in loooooove!!!” But it’s just a joke, and all jokes aside, this friend is their number one supporter. What [name_f]Bella[/name_f] doesn’t know is that her parents are trying-really hard- and they’re good at heart, but generational trauma caused them to act this way as they didn’t know how to raise her any other way.

Ysadora Adriana Garcia (18) is Bella‘s best friend. She’s the younger half-sister of Carmen Garcia. She’s always been low-key jealous of Carmen dating an actor but thinks nothing bad of it, after all it’s a healthy well-balanced relationship. She has a younger sister who is 6 years old and this girl isn’t very likable in her school for always mocking the teacher and arguing with students. She’s a sweet 6-year-old at heart but really needs to learn self-control and Ysadora always wonders why she can’t behave. She’s the aforementioned classmate of Junie and Wave and the family tries to make sure she doesn’t become a bully to them — or anyone. Ysadora used to be afraid Kaley wouldn’t like her because of her sister but Kaley has been understanding and knows Ysadora’s sister can redeem herself. Junie isn’t afraid of Ysadora and likes her. Ysadora often avoided Wave‘s family out of fear they’d make her feel bad about having a sister who misbehaves in front of Wave. She was a stranger to the Park family until one day she found Joon’s wallet, gave it back to him, and then openly confessed everything about her sister. She honestly told them how she’s trying her hardest, and will try her hardest, to get her sister to be a better person while she’s still a kid with lots of life to redeem herself. The way she said it was completely real and motivating and the progress she’s made was incredible to the point that the Park family considered her, “The first stranger since the late Harlan Johnson to massively impact our lives.” Ysadora admits she isn’t sure if her sister will ever be friends with Wave and Junie per sé but at least they’re both aware she’s not a bully. Ysadora doesn’t know that Bella’s sister is being bullied as not even Bella knows. Ysadora is fully supportive of Bella pursuing and dating Kaley and has only told Bella, not Kaley.

A kind-of friend of [name_u]Waverly[/name_u] and [name_f]Junie[/name_f], Pepa’s very fun to spend time with and she’s very sweet at heart but all the teachers misinterpret her behavior as rude- well, except the counselor, Miss [name_f]Cinnamon[/name_f]. Her name isn’t actually [name_f]Cinnamon[/name_f], but that’s a nickname gifted to her by [name_u]Pepa[/name_u], who thinks the counselor smells like cinnamon. Pepa’s parents try to offer her the best life possible, and appreciate her talents and unique quirks, but sometimes the meetings with the teachers will make her mother cry. Luckily Miss [name_f]Cinnamon[/name_f] is acquainted with the Garcias and tries to stand up for [name_u]Pepa[/name_u]. There’s a kid in the class, Pepa’s good friend, who tries to stand up for her- sometimes as a result of being different bullies will pick on her, and this friend goes ballistic on them if they even try to touch [name_u]Pepa[/name_u]. [name_u]Waverly[/name_u] and [name_f]Junie[/name_f] don’t love [name_u]Pepa[/name_u] but they get along well and the three regularly have play dates. When [name_u]Pepa[/name_u] befriended [name_u]Waverly[/name_u] and [name_f]Junie[/name_f], Ysidora was ecstatic- as she wants her sister to have more than one close friend. [name_u]Pepa[/name_u] loves it when Bella’s sister babysits her and considers her another sister.

Santiago “ Santi “ Agosto Garcia (47) is the father of Ysadora and Pepa, alongside their older American half-siblings Carmen and Raul. He and his first wife divorced sometime before Raul was born and Santi moved to Canada where he met his current wife and had two daughters. He wants to still be an active part of Carmen and Raul’s life and visits them once a month, but calls them a whole bunch. He loves that Carmen and Raul haven’t lost touch with each other despite Carmen being in Los Angeles and Raul being in Boston and he hopes he can stay close no matter the distance, even if he’s in a different country.
That being said, he loves his wife and loves spending time with her and his two Canadian daughters. He suspects Pepa may need a diagnosis and has talked this over with his wife and they have a good bond with the counselor nicknamed Miss Cinnamon. He actually never knew about the issue firsthand until Waverly and her parents told him that Pepa isn’t cooperating and may need help. He felt awful not just for Pepa but for Waverly, it’s like Santi forgot Waverly. Pepa, she fought with Waverly. Harlan, he died for Waverly. Junie, she trusted Waverly. Rachel and Joon, they loved Waverly. And Pepa’s friend is the damn fool who shot Waverly …with a water gun for standing too close to Pepa. Santi supports Pepa and her new best friend and knows her new best friend can be quite defencive but all in support of true friendship. He also supports Junie for being the backbone and always being so supportive of the other classmates and feels she is great at helping Pepa and Pepa’s new best friend. All and all, Pepa isn’t the true bully and her true friends will know this in their hearts.

Riley’s biggest achievement in life is her son. She hopes she can talk her husband into one more. That way he never feels alone in life. No matter how often her husband is away on business.

[name_f]Crystal[/name_f] likes wearing retro styles and taking “fashion risks” and doesn’t care if people say she looks younger than she is or that her style is “bad”, it’s her life and her choices. She feels that same way with [name_u]Riley[/name_u] having her own life and own choices so she doesn’t care what Riley’s in-laws say and defends her. She used to be co-workers with [name_f]Katrina[/name_f] and everyone found her and Katrina’s relationship scandalous because this was a “work relationship” between two employees. [name_f]Crystal[/name_f] no longer works at the airport, not because of criticism, but because she wanted to get into modeling. She is now a model but she couldn’t do it without [name_u]Riley[/name_u] - [name_u]Riley[/name_u], being the planner of the group, helped [name_f]Crystal[/name_f] get into modeling and encourages her to get out there.

He loves it when the couples have family vacations and always enjoys hanging out with the kids. Like Max, he loves dinosaurs too and his fave is the triceratops. He is also best friends with Pepa Garcia and always defends her from bullies, sometimes taking it a bit too far when he sprayed Waverly with a water gun, but it’s all for the sake of his friendship. He doesn’t hate Waverly or Junie and sometimes can be playful with them as well, loving water balloon fights and pillow fights. He has a “puppy love” affection for Junie and likes to pick dandelions and give them to her, which Pepa always jokes that Micah likes Junie, which Micah laughs and denies. Micah is close with the other kids on the playground but still enjoys hanging out with older family members as well and loves his two mothers. He always feels excited whenever the three couples and their children have activities planned but did have an awkward but laughable moment when he accidentally called Riley’s husband “Grandpa”.

He is the youngest of a rather large, and opinionated, family. None of whom keep their observations about his life to themselves. The only wedge in his otherwise happy marriage. He has found it difficult to set boundaries while spending the majority of his time away on business.
When home, he helps [name_u]Riley[/name_u] with all of her different adventures. From planning all of the parties and vacations for the friend group, to finding small homes in the area to flip.

[name_m]Santi[/name_m] and [name_m]Eric[/name_m] get along for being the same age although with different marriage stories.

[name_m]Carlo[/name_m] also gets along with [name_m]Eric[/name_m] and doesn’t believe [name_u]Riley[/name_u] is a gold digger, he believes she truly loves him and it’s not like [name_m]Eric[/name_m] is an unattractive rich dying elder either. Within a group of couples between a man married thrice and his third wife, two former co-workers, and a couple with a 2-decade age gap; things are bound to be untraditional and that’s a-ok because they’re all great cooking students to [name_m]Carlo[/name_m].
[name_m]Carlo[/name_m] has always been obsessed with cooking shows since he was a child. While other kids watched cartoons, [name_m]Carlo[/name_m] was always hooked on cooking shows ever since his mother left the channel on a cooking show and [name_m]Carlo[/name_m] watched along. As an adolescent he still liked it, binge watching many competition shows. [name_m]Santi[/name_m] asked [name_m]Carlo[/name_m] why he always watches them but never cooks what’s on the shows. [name_m]Carlo[/name_m] decided maybe he’d actually take cooking for himself. He enjoyed it, although learning to cook was harder than it looked watching it, seeing as the chefs cooking on TV were already professional and he was a beginner. [name_m]Carlo[/name_m] was still motivated and kept cooking on into adulthood. He’s still a fan of cooking shows and has quite a few guilty pleasures. [name_m]Carlo[/name_m] himself is married, and although his marriage is with someone not super spontaneous, the way the marriage started was spontaneous. Instead of a traditional wedding, they eloped!

[name_m]Vittorio[/name_m] is very grateful that [name_m]Carlo[/name_m] can cook- [name_m]Vittorio[/name_m] can’t even cook a packet of Ramen Noodles without getting anxious. Needless to say, [name_m]Carlo[/name_m] does all the cooking in their house. [name_m]Vittorio[/name_m] is an immigrant, from [name_u]Rome[/name_u]- he came to [name_u]America[/name_u] when he was ten years old. Before [name_m]Carlo[/name_m], [name_m]Vittorio[/name_m] was previously married to a woman who he’d met through a dating app- she was a toxic person who forced him into working two jobs so she could “stay home with the kids-“ however she didn’t even interact with their kids and just left them home so she could go shopping. After a while, [name_m]Vittorio[/name_m] divorced her, because he couldn’t bear to see his children and himself being mistreated. He’d dated plenty of men and women after that but he still couldn’t find the one. [name_m]Vittorio[/name_m] doesn’t stick to one label and oscillates between bi and pan- he hasn’t quite decided yet which fits him better. However, he teaches his kids to be accepting of everybody, and he thinks he’s succeeded with this.
Vittorio’s two kids- an 8-year-old boy and a 6-year-old girl- have done video chats with [name_u]Pepa[/name_u]. She’s shown them her house and both beg to visit Toronto and see their Cousin Pepa…Vittorio hopes he can make that happen for them some day, as his daughter and [name_u]Pepa[/name_u] are getting really close and his daughter has even taught her some Italian- Vittorio’s made an effort to teach his kids his native language, and they’re both almost-fluent now. [name_m]Carlo[/name_m] and [name_m]Vittorio[/name_m] are so happy that Vittorio’s kids have assimilated into the family so well, and [name_m]Carlo[/name_m] wants to go through the adoption process- unfortunately Vittorio’s evil wife ( @CherryBomb50 trisha vibes here) still has partial custody and would definitely refuse to give up her children, even though she doesn’t care about them at all, and she even had affairs during her and her ex’s marriage. [name_m]Vittorio[/name_m] and [name_m]Carlo[/name_m] are saving money so they can get a good lawyer- the kids dread weekends at their mom’s house, as her kids from other past marriages are mean to them and there’s always a party going on- Vittorio’s 6 year old daughter has ASD and gets panic attacks when she hears loud noises. [name_m]Vittorio[/name_m] feels awful and so does [name_m]Carlo[/name_m]- the kids don’t even have a bed at that house, but at their dad’s house they have nice individual bedrooms painted in their favorite colors. [name_m]Vittorio[/name_m] and [name_m]Carlo[/name_m] are working to get full custody together.
[name_m]Carlo[/name_m] is trying to teach [name_m]Vittorio[/name_m] how to cook things- [name_m]Vittorio[/name_m] gets frustrated and often gives up but [name_m]Carlito[/name_m] is determined to teach his husband how to cook. [name_m]Vittorio[/name_m] was always a jock in school and didn’t get the best of grades, but he’s smart- [name_m]Carlo[/name_m] knows this but [name_m]Vittorio[/name_m] himself doesn’t realize what he’s capable of as he often gives up when frustrated, but when it comes to his kids he’ll never give up. [name_m]Carlito[/name_m] is actually teaching his new kids how to cook, and they’re both pretty talented- but the older son is kind of a natural. [name_m]Vittorio[/name_m] often complains “why are my kids better at cooking than me,” and [name_m]Carlo[/name_m] just laughs, as he knows [name_m]Vittorio[/name_m] is being sarcastic as he’s a naturally sarcastic person. Vittorio’s working as a doctor, which he’s pretty good at, and it reels in a high salary. He also paints on the side- when [name_m]Carlo[/name_m] saw his paintings he automatically told him how beautiful they were. [name_m]Vittorio[/name_m] replied with “thanks but I’m not that good,” which [name_m]Carlo[/name_m] knows couldn’t be further from the truth. Unfortunately [name_m]Vittorio[/name_m] hasn’t yet realized how wonderful he truly is, but [name_m]Carlito[/name_m] is determined to help him find the truth…

Janae Kemi [left] and Brea Kiki [right] Karlton (20) both know Vittorio — with Janae formerly being his co-worker and Brea being a social worker for Pepa. They are Blaire’s younger twin sisters and the aunts of Kaley and Junie, although they perceive Kaley more as a cousin seeing that she is only 2 years younger than them, making them aunts at just 2 years old. Despite having a close twin bond, they currently reside in different countries. Janae currently lives in America, living in Boston as an art student and newly dating Leighton Metzger. Brea lives in Toronto and is currently single but doesn’t mind, being more focused on her studies in sociology. She feels Pepa has ADHD but knows it’s not her place to make a diagnosis, even though she’s technically correct. Janae picks up on a lot of her sister’s caring attributes and helps Vittorio’s children, specifically their younger child, especially when the kids are forced to see their mother. Janae loves art and she and Leighton have made great art pieces for Vittorio and Carlo, and the art pieces are primarily at Vittorio‘s house. Brea hopes Vittorio can visit Toronto and his children can meet young Pepa — Pepa’s been wanting to meet her cousins too.

Coming from a Slovak-Canadian family - Zena’s father is a first generation immigrant, having moved in his late teens; while her mother is second generation - culture has always been highly valued by her family, something passed onto [name_f]Zena[/name_f] which made her stand out at school unintentionally. Being the middle child of three siblings - having an older brother, who was born without his right arm; and younger genderfluid sister - she’s often the most practically minded, albeit there’s a chaotic way [name_f]Zena[/name_f] organises herself.
Family means the absolute world to her and she grew up idolising her brother, something she’ll admit she still does as he’s the person she turns to most for advice; given her mom’s a doctor who works long, exhaustive shifts, and her dad runs his own training company from home, while keeping an eye on her sister. He was the one to encourage [name_f]Zena[/name_f] to pursue her music degree, in spite of how she worried it’d disappoint their wider family - as her brother’s an engineer - however, much to her relief, everyone’s been supportive of her decision. [name_f]Zena[/name_f] belongs to a small symphonic metal band, Chernabog (the name having been suggested thanks to Zena’s love of Slavic mythology), and serves as their front woman thanks to her operatic training; a random decision taken one day while she was attending her regular singing lessons.
Chernabog haven’t had their big break yet but are doing well on campus with the [name_m]Metal[/name_m] Society’s backing, and on the side, Zena’s involved in opera performances as well as having tutored some younger vocalists to cover herself financially. She’s the one [name_f]Brea[/name_f] uses as a sounding board for theories, as [name_f]Zena[/name_f] does have a lot of knowledge about psychology thanks to almost majoring in it - that was until her brother helped her accept music makes her happiest.

Drew Conrad Fieldhurst (25) is a good friend of Drago, who also happens to be the brother of Riley and Crystal. Working as a special education teaching assistant, Drew credits his ability to bond with his pupils is a product of growing up compromising and idolosing his sisters, never being bothered by the fact he was the youngest of three or the only male child - but he has a lot of empathy when one of the students isn’t enjoying the baby of the family status quite as much.
He’s definitely the ‘fun uncle’ to Riley and Crystal’s kids, having tonnes of energy and ideas for how to keep them entertained whenever he’s babysitting, having an especial affinity for the arts - and Drew did consider majoring in illustration before realising teaching was his true calling. This also means he can stop things from getting too chaotic or rowdy, but Drew admits he has a soft spot for family and does let them get away with more demands, usually about playing endless games involving dinosaurs in one shape or form.
Alongside drawing and sculpting in his spare time, Drew goes windsurfing and climbing, usually accompanied by his two best friends who he’s known since middle school. One of them’s getting married and they’re also a close friend of Drago’s, who Drew jokes will protect him from being asked endless questions about when he’s settling down and having kids of his own. Currently he’s single - not really finding much time to rate between socialising, working and enjoying time with his family - but Drew suspects there may be a plot about matchmaking in the works, as Riley keeps mentioning a friend of her’s younger sibling in the most glowing of tones.
