Cameron Vasco Walder [ 28 ] is Sophie 's coworker who refused her offer to be a sperm donor. For him , the idea os completely ridiculous , given that sperm donors create a new life knowing they don’t plan having any involvement in it. He is an adoptee from Brazil while his sister is Tallie 's and her husband’s biological daughter and he suggested that adoption , even if it’s a long process [ Tallie and her husband had to stay with baby Vasco 2,5 months in Belo Horizonte before they were formally allowed to register as parents and change his name to Cameron ] , it allows Sophie for self-reflection and offering a better life to someone who already has it rough. Sophie got offended at Cameron 's suggestion at first but has since thought a lot about the idea and they are still dog groomers in the same establishment, even though for Cameron it is diffiuclt to comprehend why Sophie would want to become a dog groomer while not having a dog herself. He adores his poodle , Duchesss and often takes her for walks with her cousin , Sophie Mounier 's Diesel ( or , as he calls her cousin, " the cooler Sophie " ). He doesn’t think his coworker is a bad person at all and appreciates her patience, optimism or dedication as a nanny , but he is the " grumpy" to her " sunshine " and Sophie’s energy is a bit too much for him from time to time.
Cameron has a girlfriend but is keeping things hush hush about it because he knows if his parents found out they would press him about meeting her, and she’s admittedly not exactly the kind of partner they;d wish for - she’s a Catholic Irish-American with conservative valuess while Cameron 's family is rather progressive. Cameron rediscovered Catholicism while trying to get closer to Brazilian culture and enjoys learning about the religion from his girlfriend, although he’s not sure if he’s ready with his limited knowledge of the Church to become a part of it.
Cameron also knows his sister’s friend friend becuse he goes to the dog grooming salon with his cocker spaniel , Aria and often is accompanied by his preteen daughter. He was Cameron 's school acquaintance although he became seen as a " loser " when it came out that he and his high school girlfriend are pregnant. Even more shoking was her death during childbirth , short before Cameron and her friend’s graduation. His daughter is now thriving , although Cameron thinks that forcing a female parental figure into her life will only cause chaos in an already chaotic preteen life.
