[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] McGovern (30) is Madeline’s partner and the father of [name_f]Winnie[/name_f], [name_u]Harlow[/name_u] and [name_f]Mina[/name_f]. In contrast to [name_f]Madeline[/name_f], Oscar’s never been someone who enjoys any kind of spotlight, working as an animal welfare officer: a job he absolutely adores. Through his work, [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] met [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] while she was volunteering at the shelter he was based in, coming to bond with her on the grounds she grew up with a Pitbull as her family pet who often experienced unfair assumptions about being dangerous. [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is thoroughly against stereotyping of all animals and feels they all deserve compassion, care and to be treated well. This was when he was 24 and she was 21, with many of Oscar’s co-workers playfully pointing out [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] had a crush on him, but it took a while for either party to act, as they were worried about ruining their friendship if their romance didn’t last.
Thanks to his job, the family have had numerous foster animals live with them, but the only long-term home resident has been their elderly tabby cat [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], who [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] found when he was only 18, having been abandoned at the side of the road. This changed when [name_m]Dougie[/name_m] was the only of his litter not adopted from the shelter and Winnie’s determination to see the family gain another pet won out. [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] was raised by a single mother, alongside his half-sister who’s older than him by six years, and she’s a frequent guest at the family home, sometimes mingling with Madeline’s family who are considerably larger - her being one of 5 kids and she has a stepdad too. A fair bit introverted, [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] was terrified about meeting the Cerpa’s initially, as he worried he wasn’t good enough for [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] - however one family pool party later he’d relaxed considerably and is especially close with Madeline’s older brother.
