Jacob Nathaniel Williams
Mimi's "Daddy"
"Jake" is a respectable and diligent architect. He collaborates with many groups and has projects all over Greensboro and a few surrounding cities and towns.
Jake is generally mellow and relatable, except when it comes to Mikey.
On the rare occasion that Sophie speaks Spanish, it's obvious that Jake doesn't understand.
Sophia Isabella Montenegro Williams
Mimi's "Mommy"
"Sophie" is very articulate, sophisticated, intelligent, charismatic, and feisty. You might not agree with everything she says, but she's great at breaking things down and helping people buy in.
She isn't intentionally manipulative, but she can be rude/bossy and annoying. As aggravating as she can be, you can't help but respect her.
She is a second-generation immigrant from Puerto Rico, Yauco near Cerro El Rodadero. She rarely speaks Spanish, except with Stevie.
Caleb Michael Williams
Mimi's middle brother, the older of Mimi's two younger brothers.
"Mikey" was born on January 13, 1994.
He eventually became Salutatorian of Dudley’s Class of 2012 and, so, earned a full academic scholarship to NC State.
He has a tremendous relationship with Jake and Sophie, even though he sometimes gets frustrated "living in Mimi's shadow. " She never sees it as a competition and encourages him to find his own greatness.
A night of drinking with the frat led to alcohol poisoning that almost killed him. Jake and Sophie panicked and snatched him out of school and put him in AA. He fights alcoholism for the rest of his life.
He is 19 when Zeke and Mimi meet.
Steven Thomas Williams
Mimi's baby brother, "Stevie," was born on December 1, 1998.
He is a 14-year-old high Sophomore when Zeke and Mimi meet.
He was diagnosed as autistic early on, around age 4. It isn't visibly obvious, but it shows up in his ridiculously high IQ and social awkwardness; he's very childlike and doesn't catch hints.
His mom, Sophie, is 2nd generation from Puerto Rico. She doesn't really speak much Spanish except with Stevie. No one else really understands much Español.
The family treats him like a baby and he hates it!
