GRANDPA
55 to 65 years old, Filipino man. Left to raise his young Granddaughter, Grandpa is a kind, caring, yet stern man who loves her more than life and often makes traditional Filipino dishes at her request. Over the years he watches as his Granddaughter grows up and starts to push him away. This is a tough pill to swallow.

She is bubbly, artistic, and loves letting her imagination run wild, often resulting in mischief. If there is one thing that will cheer her up when she is feeling down, it’s food, something her Grandpa knows all too well. They often share traditional Filipino meals together, sharing stories, laughs, and most of all making core memories. LEAD
TEEN GRANDDAUGHTER
18 to 22 years old, Filipino woman. A now older Granddaughter trying to navigate her teenage years but also live up to the expectations of her helicopter Grandpa. She knows he means well but she can’t help but feel overwhelmed by his constant babying. This strains their relationship causing her to become distant, a decision she will soon regret. LEAD
